Happy Columbus Day!
Today's holiday reminds us of the man known as the founder of our country.
As he is discussed in schools nationwide and remembered in a variety of ways, we want to know how important is he in the history of the United States?
We'd like to know what you think?
I'll be at the Hardback Cafe inside Hastings until 9 a.m., then at the Main Street Kaffee Haus in Cuero until 11. Stop by and let me know what you think.
See you soon.

Just think of it as the beginning of the Winter Holiday season, seeing as how VISD dropped Christmas from the calendar.

And after supper tonight, the family will gather around the fireplace and sing Columbus songs as we snack on New World cake and Explorer punch...
seriously - we can drop a bunch of other holidays and keep Columbus and MLK? wow. that's messed up.
