Viva Las Aaron

If you're familiar with the residents of Our House In Jersey, you're aware that today is a very special day for us. Today is Dia de la Constitucion (or, "Constitution Day") in Mexico. This holiday is muy important to us because it's the official holiday that commemorates the Constitution of Mexico, sort of like Arbor Day here in the U.S. We marked the occasion by dining last night at Caliente's on 7th in the Village, joined by several good friends who are also very interested in Mexican history and/or food.

Not to be outdone by Mexico, the folks in San Marino are celebrating the Anniversary of the Liberation of the Republic from the Alberoni Occupation, which, I suspect, commemorates the liberation of the Republic from the Alberoni occupation.

And, due to the time difference, the Republic of the Congo is celebrating Presidents Day (which commemorates presidents who have already been commemorated by commemorative coins) a full two weeks before the U.S.

So there's clearly a lot to celebrate today, February 5, 2006. Around here, we'll jump on any excuse to relax and have a little fun, so we've been observing these important international holidays by lazing around, chit-chatting, and eating cake. Also, we've decked out the house with Transformers-themed decorations, in recognition of the Transformers' important role in the liberation of San Marino from Cardinal Alberoni. Overall, it's been a fun and commemorative weekend.

Also, it's Aaron's birthday. Happy Birthday, Aaron.
