I feel for all the groups that consider this commemoration an abomination. Columbus Day as I’ve gathered over my 10-ish years of living here, is one of those holidays that is “happy&# for some (mostly Federal employees), and not that rambunctious for others.

I recently tried to get a big blogger to participate in a group blog project I am working on (in other words, an ask of far less magnitude than “write about me/my biz”).
