I like to see it as a paid holiday! :P

LOL! I'll run that by my boss. He'll get as big a kick out of that as he does when I ask for a raise(which is frequently).

I will be at the Texas Memorial Museum all afternoon telling folks about the wonderful world of fossil collecting. The Paleontological Society of Austin will be represented by myself and a handful of our members who can take the afternoon off. I will also be wearing clothes, especially since it has gotten darn right chilly now with days as low as 85 degrees. Bbbuuuurrr...
