    Or, as some of my Native American friends call it, Smallpox Day.

    Anyone else have the day off?

    I have a holiday, but the regional headquarters is working, including my boss, so I'm working (from home for now).

    I'm going to call her on Texas Independence Day or whichever holiday she gets that I don't.

    You know, if it weren't for Columbus, we'd all be BBSin' in Europe, Asia and Africa. :)

    Damn you, Cortés for massacring all my peeps.

    Forgot this holiday was coming up. Kind of ironic, because I need to read Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus for a book club I'm in. I've read it a few years ago (best Orson Scott Card novel IMO), but seeing how I suggested the book, I should probably reread it. Now it seems a bit more topical.
