If you agree with that statement, then you probably live in the US, like myself. The rest of the English speaking countries seem to have a holiday today. Alright, not all of them -- but alot of them, according to my Lord of the Rings daily calendar.

It lists "Holiday" for Ireland and Scotland, "Civic Holiday" for Canada (but not Quebec, see, they speak French there), "Picnic Day" (sounds perfect) for Australia (NT), and "Bank Holiday" for Australia (ACT and NSW).

It's not that we don't have enough federal holidays or national holidays, or even enough Summer holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day) but we don't have any today. And I could use one today. ;)
