Tomorrow: German Father's Day

No class tomorrow, as it's "Ascension Day", a religious holiday that has been turned into the German equivalent of Father's Day since they don't have a Father's Day here and the holiday comes right after Mother's Day, which they do have (and on the same day as in the US). It's a bank holiday so everything will be closed.

In the country, as my MVIS prof put it, the fathers and sons go out into the woods with a keg early in the morning and don't return until late in the evening. "Not good for the families," he said, "but good for the fathers!"
