So, it’s President’s Day. One of those newfangled holidays I detest. I would prefer following the protocol of old, honoring Lincoln on the 12th and Washington on the 22nd. (NOTE: I currently reside in Alexandria, which considers the 22nd of February a local and personal holiday for its native son.) But, given that America has decided that we must venerate our presidents today, let’s pick on Thomas Jefferson, instead- and do Washington later this week on the 22nd.
