What Holiday?
Today's one of those odd public holidays the US has which not everyone regards as a holiday. So one of our US offices is closed, but the other isn't. It's Martin Luthor King Day, which I'd tend to think was one worth marking. I'd certainly rather mark the achievements of a real human being of such distinction than either the religious nonsense that's the basis for so many British holidays, or the lives and achievements of either fictional or largely fictionalised characters like our 'beloved' national saints.

<pedantic> It’s Martin Luther King, not Luthor. You’re thinking of Superman’s nemesis…</pedantic>

You’re quite right of course, and I stand corrected.
Though actually I was thinking of a client I was preparing a meeting for. I try not to think about anything DC-related these days – it just makes my brain hurt.
