Thanks, Barry. It seems that schools here have started calling it President's Day, celebrating both Washington and Lincoln, but it's listed as Washington's Birthday in the federal calendar. 🙁

The holiday in the US traditionally has been 2 weeks with 5 or so sick days. Many companies have gone to a PTO, Paid Time Off, system where you get 3 weeks that's for sick and vacation. Usually over time you earn more and I've seen people getting up to 5 or 6 weeks total after 10-15 years work.

I had a great weekend in the mountains, and I'm somewhat off today :). Still a little work to do, but a good chance to recharge a bit.
