Odds & Ends
On a lighter note …
As a person who will be traveling to Sydney for the first time in a few weeks, I found this article especially interesting. Note to self: bring a winter jacket, in case I end up in the wrong hemisphere.
My friend Vinod in Kerala (India) sent me an interesting observation: 2007 starts and ends on a Monday, has more Saturdays and Sundays than most years, and none of the public holidays occur on a Saturday or Sunday. (That includes both US holidays like Christmas and the 4th of July, as well as all the Indian holidays like Makara Shankranthi, Independence Day and Deepvali.)
So 2007 will be the most leisurely year possible, with the maximum number of days off in both the United States and India. Stock up the fridge with your favorite beverage and get ready to enjoy!
