Day 28: Washington’s Birthday

Happy Birthday, George Washington! I know you were born on February 22nd but the country now unofficially celebrates “Presidents’ Day” on the third Monday of February to give federal “workers” a long holiday weekend. It’s a convoluted story, but your home state of Virginia, to its great credit, officially celebrates your birthday the entire month of February.

Speaking of holidays, I have an idea for two new national holidays to be celebrated simultaneously on June 14: “Donald J. Trump’s Birthday” and “National MAGA Hat Day.”

    Some Trump supporters are promoting a MAGA Hat Day for Feb 20. I don’t know how successful it will be, but who knows – you may see one or two other MAGA-hatters out there as you traverse through the city tomorrow.
