By hoping this is in the OD forum instead of DD?

Just another day for me. The people I work with could care less about MLK or probably don't even know who he is.

.....I can't forget The Greasemans famous comment a few years back pertaining to MLK day....Bwaaaahhahaha.... remember the one? I almost spewed soda when I heard him say that........took a lot of guts to say that on live radio.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greaseman read the link...it was a bit tasteless so I won't repeat it.


but they give it to me so I'll putter around the house on overdue projects.

It's quite the robust day of celebration here - quite a bit of activities leading up to Monday. It's not a paid holiday for me
