THE DAY AFTER!

               THE DAY AFTER!

   It's Superbowl Sunday and a lot of

people, me included, will be having a

party. Ironically, for many, that party

will actually end before the big game

does! By the time the halftime show 

starts, much of the food will be eaten

and people with kids will be thinking of

heading home. Many of those who stay at

those parties across the land will not be

going to work (or school) tomorrow!

It's estimated that over 17 million Americans

will be off the job! Nearly half will be 

taking personal days. The rest will

"suddenly" come down with a cold or

some other illness. It's been suggested,

certainly by me, that Superbowl be moved

to a Saturday. But there's another option.

The day after the game could be made a

national holiday. And that would be easy

simply by moving President's Day (which,

by the way is legally designated as Washington's

Birthday) to the day after Superbowl! After all

the intent of that holiday was to celebrate

Washington ( and Lincoln's) birthday and

doesn't have to fall on their actual birth dates

anyway! Makes sense to me! Maybe we should

all lobby for the change! Hope you're well, 

truly well. tomorrow and that all your NEWS

is good.
