This is a problem?  Lets celebrate Sept 16 too!

Is it just me or does the Boomer generation look for any excuse to party?
When I was a kid I don't remember my parents celebrating Halloween, Fat
Tuesday or St. Patricks Day (as with Cinco de Mayo, we US residents make
more of a big deal about St. Patricks than the Irish), much less Cinco de
Mayo.  Of course I'm not saying this is nessesarily a bad thing...   :-)
