If it seems like I'm making little deal over this holiday it's not that I lack empathy for the cause of the holiday. I have just never heard of it before since, here in Arizona, it is not celebrated. As for the rest of the country the date of celebration seems varied as well.

I questioned Jessica as to why our taxes weren't due till tomorrow, Tax day is the 15th, but since thats a Sunday it makes sense to push it to today, except it's Emancipation Day! So Tuesday it is!

You may be thinking "Why didn't you do it a month ago like a conscientious human being" and that's a valid point, to which I reply, I'm working on it... maybe next year.
