The commute was nice today... streets less crowded... empty seats on subways... even some closed shops. It's because most of the Christians were observing Good Friday... the most solemn day in the calendar. It's beyond me why they take the day off though. If the day is about suffering and being solemn, why not just go to work? That way two things can be taken care of... observance of the suffering and getting something done! If Christians want to take a day off, why not do it on Easter Monday instead. That way they could spend the free time celebrating the Resurrection instead of being all sad and burning a vacation day to do it.
