Ladies and Gentlemen:
Just a reminder that Monday is the Presidents' Day holiday and we should all stay home and think about presidents. Don't work unless you've been assigned to work or have cleared it with your editor in advance.
If you do work (but don't work - see paragraph one) please download a holiday form from the link on our homepage and give it to me.
Cheers.
Ken

Heh. Still, this is a sharp contrast to what Karen Elliot House of the Wall Street Journal said last June, of her own paper: "[A]ny of the real stars of The Journal work a six-day week now."
Yes, and six-day star Karen was sent off to her unwilling retirement recently with a lightly attended party held at 3:30 p.m. on a weekday--ensuring that her fellow six-day stars were too busy working to attend.
