The Weekend


Well, I made it back alive from a very busy weekend including a huge birthday party for Luke. He turned 10! That's insane. You can tell the double-digits have already gone to his head.

Happy Columbus day to everyone, I guess. I find this holiday pretty confusing. It's a pretty widely accepted fact amongst historians that Christopher Columbus was not the first European to settle in the US. It was actually the Vikings, and they came centuries before Columbus and his ships. And besides, Columbus (and the rest of the world) still thought it was part of Asia until Amerigo Vespucci corrected them. So, why don't we have Viking Day or Amerigo Vespucci Day? They have been ignored too long! They should be national holidays and thereby paid days off of work!

That's my "Dork Rant" of the week.
