Good morning. Unless you work at a bank, a courthouse, or a post office, it is likely back to reality this Monday morning after the first NFL-less Sunday of 2023. (Yesterday felt longer without football, didn’t it?) But even without an NFL Sunday, there was no shortage of good television with Jon Rahm reclaiming No. 1 in the world at Riviera, the debut of the XFL for football fans who aren’t ready to say goodbye, the Daytona 500, the NBA All-Star Game, and, my favorite, the fifth episode of “The Last Of Us” on HBO.
Today, remember to write on George Washington’s Facebook wall because it is Presidents Day in America, honoring our nation’s first president and all of the others who followed–even the ones you don’t like–on the closest Monday to what would’ve been Washington’s 291st birthday.
