Just in case it slipped by you, Monday is Columbus Day. It’s a tricky holiday. Yes, it means no mail. But there are some banking institutions and schools that be will be open for business. So, before you set out on a trek to talk with your banker or drop the kiddos off to school, make sure they’re not shuttered.
And if you do have the day off, why not check out the State Fair, the Dallas Zoo and loads of area museums and parks?
While you’re thinking of special days, remember that Yom Kippur and Ashura begin at sundown on Tuesday.
