Monday, February 21 Washington's Birthday

Well, shut my mouth and call me Shirley.
Okay, you got me on that one. I haven't heard it called "Washington's Birthday" in NYC in years (it's also Lincoln's Birthday and President's Day)

Neither have I. The schools now call it presidents' day. But I don't think those in the south and those who cherish the 10th amendment include Lincoln's birthday in that holiday, probably the reason why it's still officially listed as Washington's birthday.
