Good morning! TIME TO REVISIT OUR NATIONAL HOLIDAYS? I miss Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday. Even more than I miss George Washington’s on February 22nd. When I was a kid, we celebrated both and honored these two men on their actual birthdays. Then the “Universal Monday Holiday Act” of 1971 determined that we should seize upon holidays to generate three-day weekends, rather than having the annual calendar leave holidays stranded in the middle of the week.
