Ah, long weekends!

June 23, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Tomorrow is St. Jean Baptiste day, named after the patron saint of Quebec. This means different things to different people. For some, it’s the Fte Nationale, the National Holiday, with all the attendant celebration. For others, it’s just “that long weekend in June I always forget about”. For still others it’s the Stardust picnic, hosted for the past few years by Blue Rodeo. For me – there’s a patio furniture clearance sale at Wal-Mart, and several used/antique furniture stores to visit, plus I might call up my Official Plant Consultant to help me foliate my new apartment.
