Wait, It's a Holiday?

You might not have noticed it, what with you having to be at work and all, but today is a holiday. That means that you won't be getting mail, and you don't have to go to court -- city, state, or federal (we're looking at you, Patrick Fitzgerald).

Beside the Post Office and government offices, public and most private elementary, middle, and high schools are closed today as well, but not the colleges and universities (growing up blows, doesn't it?). Metra and CTA, however, are running on their regular weekday schedules.

And if you still need to get out of the office and feel like a kid again, there's a parade this afternoon.
