Depends on where you are. When I was a kid in school in NY, we had both Lincoln and Washington's Birthday off. They then combined the two into "President's Day" and created MLK Day instead. Now, apparently, they've moved Lincoln's Birthday to Friday, relocated Washington to Monday, and call the entire thing "President's Day Recess". State offices, however, are closed today as they are in CT and NJ. -ajb -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
