Columbus Days of Yore


Oh, Columbus, Columbus.

I have a pal, Allen
(sometimes featured laughing in the background of the American Nobody opening,
or reflected in Jon's sunglasses),
who refuses to celebrate Columbus Day,
because he thinks
Columbus was a tool.

I see his point, but, seriously, it's a holiday.
Who cares?

I spent my day with my sister, riding bikes all over Brooklyn.
We rode the Brooklyn Bridge
(over, and then back).
I had forgotten how steep the first,
oh,
I don't know,
third of that bridge is.
It's a doozy.

I hope you all took advantage of Jon's Columbus Day give-a-way.
If not, there still might be time.
Hurry over.
