Unfortunately, I’m currently at our home up north in Massachusetts where just about everything is closed. At least the YMCA is open, so I can go swimming. As a federal holiday there won’t be any golf today, crowed courses with weekend/holiday rates and no generous weekday senior citizen discounts. When I worked I lived for weekends and holidays, now I can’t wait for weekdays.
