POPSWikipedia, on Martin Luther King Day My teenage son has been living with his mother in a province far from mine for a few years, and it's only recently that we've been able to keep in touch almost daily by Instant Messenger, e-mail, and other wonders of the 21st Century. I was proud and surprised, when I upgraded to the latest Microsoft Messenger to match what he had, that he was using an image of Dr. King as the iconic "avatar" representing him while on-line. MLK is among the top five people I admire most. I don't remember consciously imparting this to young Mookie, so his choice was a pleasant surprise. : { ) I hope the employers of many of you folks down there in Vespuccia give you the day off for observance of an important man who charted a non-violent and exemplary course toward long-overdue and neglected social reform. : { ) (Alas, here in Canuckia we observe the day from our desks, workshops, stores, and other places of employment. But we're working on it.)
