Celebrate! Ohio!

Choose your holiday! Today is Mardi Gras, Lincoln's Birthday, and Chinese New Year (it's the year of the horse), all in one. Also, as Jul pointed out this morning, it's the new moon. Everyone should be able to find something to celebrate on that list of happenings!

Speaking of Ohio... I hate it when I start to question my own unfounded prejudices. It was bad enough when I started thinking maybe squirrels weren't so bad (years ago now -- I was rehabilitated -- these days I love them), but Ohio? I thought I could always count on Ohio to inspire my contempt... Now I find I have way too many friends living there to think of it as a frustrating and evil place anymore.

So let me send a big shout-out to my friends (both human and feline) in Columbus and Cincinnati, and admit I was wrong! I will turn over a new leaf and love Ohio.

Plus it is the home of Value City. In other words, it is the Mecca of bargain shopping.

Let the Ohio Love begin...
