Holiday Weekends

Heading into traditional 2-day weekend I was reminded of this quote from Matthew Yglesias after the fabulous 4th of July 3-day weekend:
Let me say that I’ve really enjoyed this rare Friday-off three day weekend. I think it’s been a lot more fun than your traditional Monday-off three dayer. I think it’s the difference between a weekend that psychologically feels like it has two Saturdays and a weekend that psychologically feels like it has two Sundays. But whatever the reason, I think we should formalize the switch, eliminate our “observed on Monday” national holidays and shift them to Fridays.
Makes sense to me.
Stay tuned for The Big Stick’s change of dirrection on Monday and please enter the contest.
