Wasn't That a Party?

Sorry for the tardiness of this post, but boy was yesterday a busy day for celebrations. First of all, Norouz -- Persian new year -- started last evening. Secondly, it was Stephen Colbert Day in the city of Oshawa. And of course, yesterday marked the 405th anniversary of the founding of the Dutch East India Company. With so many things to celebrate there were just too many parties to choose from, so I stayed home and went to bed early.
