Monday is Martin Luther King Day. It'll be the first MLK Day that I don't have the day off probably since Kindergarten. Damn.

Also, Monday night, January 19, is the premiere of Court TV's Chasing Freedom docudrama about the work of the Lawyers' Committee for Human Rights and the plight of asylum-seekers who are locked up indefinitely, for sometimes arbitrary reasons, by Homeland Security. Lotsa good stuff on the LCHR website.
