I grew up in Minnesota, where there is no week off in February (...) (25 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
   
        Re: When are K-12 spring breaks? —Julie Krenz
     Spring Break for my kids is the last week of March/first week of April this year. We are in Illinois. Spring Break in February would really be a bummer. Do they have the entire week off? Last week my kids had a short week due to institute days and (...) (25 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

      Yes, you're right. In fact, watching that first season again is good for yucks (Worf, bunhead Troi, quirky data). I would say, though, that the show found its stride fairly quickly after that (the aforementioned Pulaski notwithstanding). IIRC the (...)
