Super Bowl Monday as holiday?

How 'bout Valentine's Day? Devoted to love in whatever form you wish, not frigging football (AND I LIKE FOOTBALL!).

I'd rather have a day off devoted to an end game that gets even the most rudimentary of romantics laid, not one that results in a Cheetoh-bloated gut, a Blatz hangover, and a gambling debt.

I'm so romantic! All we need is love!

 

I don't know about you, Bub, but in my single days, my Valentine's Days ended more like the latter.

 

Come to Kentucky -- the second and third Thursdays and Fridays in March are unofficial holidays because most employees are standing around watching NCAA tournament games. If either UK or U of L makes a deep run in the tournament, then you can forget about office productivity for the rest of March.

Then there's April -- which is usually when local schools have their Spring Break -- so that's another week shot to hell. By the time the Breakers come back, it's Kentucky Derby time, so you might as well plan on not doing anything significant until mid-May at the earliest.

 

That's why I love Kentucky, no state makes spring more fun.
