I may have mentioned it once or twice, but was remiss in reminding you all that Sunday was Leif Erikson Day.
I love the Scandinavian sense of humor that chose the day before Columbus Day to celebrate. (That Columbus, always a day late!)
Wikipedia says, "October 9 is not associated with any particular event in Leif Erikson's life. The date was chosen because the ship Restauration coming from Stavanger, Norway, arrived in New York Harbor on October 9, 1825." Sure, it was. ;-)
