The only reason that I sorta remembered is because of a summer stay in Florida. We flew out of Ontario on the Sunday of our long week-end, and grumbled at losing a statutory day off. But the following week, being on the pan-handle, we got to enjoy a day off anyway.

I worked shift rotations for a five-year stretch once. When I returned to straight days, I was frequently caught off-guard by holidays.

I'm caught off guard all the time with no real excuse..

I can use the excuse now of advancing old age, but you are far too young for that. You'll have to get creative with a 'justification' ...

Clever. Though to be honest, from your one display piccy ... I think you've corrected nature's error just right. I mean really, who's ever encountered a blonde ?

Well, after that last post of mine, I thought I ought to be prepared for a case of "Pinocchio Syndrome".
That reminds me ... Each year for a Christmas do, milady's company had taken the employees and partners to a Panto play, and dinner. This year, they chose not to, and so I got us reservations and seats. The play was Pinocchio, and foolishly I chose a seat on the aisle, near the front. Come the time for the scene of children playing perpetually on an island, I got dragged on-stage. They needed more children, ya see. At one point, all the children are to magically be turned into donkeys, but this was the slightly naughty version of the play. When the lights came up, all of us except the evil-dude were wearing a latex, bum-shaped mask. We'd all been made into asses.
Over the following 4 weeks, no less than 9 people recognised me on the street, on commented on how well I had made an ass of myself.

Oh, and a coping saw is a handy thing to have, if you are far better at detailed woodwork than I am. A brief bit about it here ... http://www.technologystudent.com/equip1/coping1.htm

Wot, no comments on my stage debut?
When I was maybe 9 or 10, my grandfather gave me a small and battered tool-box, a bit of this, a bit of that. I tried to build a couple of bird houses, but the only saw that I had was one of those. They really aren't much for a straight line, especially in such inexperienced hands.
Poor birds.

That's one way to enhance security around the home-front ... Hordes of baying hounds and schnausers.

Obviously you are simply in the wrong neighborhood then. Time to pack up and move.
Sorry to say, ... no meats available to be shipped. The other two lads were so anxious for fresh links and such, right from the source ... And they were closed for the day. Fridges or something undergoing serious update/upgrades or some such. Murphy's Law, eh?
