Yes, I am late providing details. Consider it an early Harbor Day gift from me to you if you were running short on issues to dwell on.
In case you never bothered to read, or simply forgot, there is a new holiday for us to celebrate. It is sanctioned by The New Yorker, so don't even start with the "this is not a real thing" crap. I read it on the internet, it HAS to be true:

The Bloomington Illinois celebration of Harbor Day plans are as follows:
Location: Gill Street Sports Bar and Restaurant, 3002 Gill Street, Bloomington, IL (Yes, I picked a location close to my house, just for my convenience. Maybe if you helped we would have picked somewhere else)
Date/Time: Saturday, December 1, 2012, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM CST (Time selected to optimize infringement on the edges of people's lunch and dinner times across multiple time zones)
Activities:
- In-person drinking to facilitate the sharing of harbored resentments
- Tweet-Up - It is Harbor Day all day, so be sure to share what you can throughout the day and use the hashtag #HarborDay. Examples:
Oh, @Sean_Schick didn't show, like THAT is a surprise. #HarborDay
This is the BEST #HarborDay EVER (I will be QUITE disappointed if this is not tweeted often) - We will fire up a Google+ Hangout from
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM CST for those too lazy to join us. Thanks for putting in all the effort. Don't have a Google+ account? Maybe you could spend the 3 minutes to set one up.
- Selection of celebrity spokesperson, suggestions for Harbor Day traditions, related foods, etc...
- Selection of 2012 “Harbormaster”
This will be the BEST HARBOR DAY EVER.
