Today was just a normal day (well, night...I work thrid shift) for me. The only difference is an added $1.50 an hour for holiday time. Other than that, no parades, no high-stakes shopping, nothing. Holidays don't enthrall me at all. I don't see the point - I can go out and grill and drink beer any day of the week, why am I obligated to do it today? Why would I go to the shore on a weekend when it's packed, when I can go on a Wednesday when it's empty? I just don't get it...
Disk, our Wal-Mart is open (along with practically every other store). Those of us in the Northeast look at this as prime retail-day, so nothing closes. Hell, our Wal-Mart is 24 hours and only closes on Christmas and a half-hour on Easter.
And our high school band is one of the best in the nation - it's the only reason I'd show up to the parade
