Columbus Day is a pernicious fabricated non-holiday designed solely for the purpose of tormenting endorphin starved teenage averse parents.
LOL! (Are there any NON-fabricated nonholidays left?)
I do enjoy Columbus Day. Labor Day comes in what is the middle of the summer now (used to be the end), so Columbus Day feels like a real break. Usually I spend it hiking in the mountains, and enjoy the French Canadians on the trails, as it is Canadian Thanksgiving. Then the woods clear out, and you can feel everything turn toward November and winter and the first snowfall.
This year was my first time swimming OW on Columbus Day. Then the swimmers repaired to a French bakery and enjoyed a pear and blueberry tart as an impromptu celebration.
