“In this house Christopher Columbus is a hero. END OF STORY.”

The Sopranos had a lot to say about Columbus Day leading off with Furio and the boys, then Furio and Carm, then the Soprano family hanging around the breakfast nook and then of course my favorite: the boys busting up a protest. Wherever you stand on Columbus Day celebrations, safe to say this was one of the best days off as a kid. Such a sleeper in the childhood power rankings of days off school. Right up there with President’s Day or a March snow day which reminds me: being an adult sucks.  If you got the day off, come drop some lunch at the Chicago office heyhowyadoin
