I didn’t realize this since I haven’t lived in Wisconsin for just shy of 20 years, but I have always lived in a state where Patriots’ Day is a holiday. This is notable because only three states observe Patriots’ Day: Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Maine (because Maine was originally part of Massachusetts).

To begin 2008, I’ve decided to scrap all of my previous posts and start Ataxia over with a blank canvas. (Most of that stuff wasn’t worth reading anyway.)
