Columbus Day, Observed.

Just stopping by to let you folks know that nothing has gone wrong. Tee and I have decided to observe Columbus Day this year, so the review for this week will come out on Tuesday. I know a lot of folks don't do anything for Columbus Day, and a lot of workplaces don't even observe the holiday, but the discovery of the "new world" changed a lot of things in Europe and led to a lot of changes all over the world. Some of those have been good changes, and some bad, but on the whole I think that it has been beneficial in terms of lack of social strife and the creation of an environment where innovation in technology was necessary to survive.

Of course, the past is something we must live with and cannot be changed. So however you see the European invasion of the western hemisphere, take a few moments to count up the good and the bad, and resolve to learn from these lessons and make a better tomorrow. And that's when we'll see you. Tomorrow.
