I always thought it should be observed on the anniversary of his assassination, so I could get my birthday off every year.... I also plumped for rolling back "Presidents' Day" to the original "Washington's Birthday" and "Lincoln's Birthday", further suggesting that *every* president's birthday should be a holiday...(Polk and Harding screwed things up by having their birthdays on the same day of the year)...as luck would have it, at the time I made this suggestion, that still would have left us with no holidays in June (Bush Sr came along a year or two later)....r -- A pessimist sees the glass as half empty.
