Wikipedia update
The last time I used Wikipedia (to look up an unrelated subject) I had a message waiting for me regarding my recent alteration of the Mother McAuley page. "Unconstructive" seems a little harsh. Also, I don't even think it's a real word.

I just finished reading Lies My Teacher Told Me which I'd heard a lot about in the last few years. I was surprised to see that it was actually published thirteen years ago.
I learned that the first Thanksgiving was actually in 1863; Lincoln proclaimed the third Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving because they were in the middle of the Civil War, and he sensed that the Union could use an upswell in patriotism. Just the kind of thing that an origin story celebration could do.
Huh.
I learned other stuff, too.
