Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?

139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

There was a knock at my door. When I opened it there was a package there. When I opened it I found a birthday gift.
Yes, Northview Heights Secondary School was where I went and it was highschool friend who sent it. When I attended it was part of the North York Board of Education system, not Toronto.

Because of how sick I was when I returned from Winnipeg I didn’t really unpack. So, today is the first day I’ve enjoyed my new mug from MJ's Kafé. With a name like that you know it has to be good.

I ordered a thesis with one chapter related to my work. The postage cost surprised, but it arrived.
I opened it and the thesis is 968 pages, without notes, bibliography, index, table of contents, acknowledgements or dedication. I hope it was interesting--good or bad doesn't seem relevant. 968 pages!

I knew that Bob Ezrin had renounced his American citizenship however, what surprised me on FB when I opened it this morning was the number of ads from tax advisors and lawyers about how to renounce your American citizenship. Are there that many people doing it? How many are dual citizens?
