Both Columbus Day and Canadian Thanksgiving–earlier in Canada because there’s snow, not harvest, in November–have echoes of voyages. Voyages of discovery, adventure and celebration. Kindergarten is another voyage of discovery for our children. Today, wherever we are, as adults let’s make an effort to protect their sense of adventure and celebration. Happy Day!
P.S. How did sailors on Columbus’ ship sleep at night? With their eyes closed.
P.P.S. Why did the turkey cross the road? Because it was the chicken’s day off.
