Presidents' day

The Paizo offices will be closed February 22 to observe Presidents' Day.

Isn't Presidents' day today, i.e. Monday, February 21?

Just wondering, as a non-American...

Indeed it is, although the 22nd is George Washington's birthday (which was what President's Day was initially based upon, it was changed to be called President's Day after the government changed the holiday to take place on the third Monday in February).

My guess is someone's finger slipped.

WHAT!?
No blog for Presidents' Day? How un-American!
I'm writing Evil Lincoln at his Gettysburg address!

[Evil Lincoln]

Hmmm... I can just tell this letter was written by someone handsome.

Spoiler:

I double dog dare you to name a more boring president.

[Evil Lincoln]

James K. Polk?

Pierce, as charming as he may have been to some, was, quite frankly, an a$+@@@&.

I hope he is played by Chevy Chase in the upcoming HBO special.

It's so good to be gotten.

Seriously, I'd love to see a mock-up of something like HBO's John Adams but with "Pierce" as Pierce.

It is, and this was my fault, actually. I think my brain left out an "Until" somewhere.

If I remember correctly, it was moved so that it could also honor Lincoln, who also had a February birthdate, without giving yet another day off in the same month.
