are your schools off for Columbus Day?

Thank you very much for the picture. That's a reasonable likeness of my office. Did you already post this once before?

And a very nice poster of #13 on the Dynamo. That would be Ricardo Clark, our defending mid-fielder. He is a very good player, an annual All-Star, and has appeared for the U.S. National team. He even scored a goal against Paraguay in the Copa America last summer.

No, that's your pic's debut, though you did make a cameo in Etaoin's picture, which ES drew a month and a half before this one....

And ES regrets that he was unaware that the Dynamo's mascot was a fox, or the poster would've looked a bit more fitting.... but he wasn't even aware until you posted later on that soccer teams used squirrels for mascots.....

Schools were two hours late in my county, but not because of Columbus Day. They are also four hours late today and tomorrow, two hours early Thursday, and completely off on Friday. My kids are quite enjoying this week!

Houston schools are in session today.

When I was a kid in Indiana and a teacher in Michigan we never got Columbus Day off.

The federal courthouse in Houston is closed today and I got the day off this time. On King Day, George Washington's Birthday, Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, and the day after Thanksgiving the courthouse is closed but we have to have a person on duty in the library. I'll be covering the day after Thanksgiving again this year. I think I did Washington's Birthday last spring.

But what about Christmas Eve?

That is a GREAT pic of AJ.

I'm trying to think of one of ES's masterpieces where a BB regular couldn't tell who it was without the label. I can't think of any. The details are especially excellent on AJ's.
