A Half-Century of Silicon Valley with Randy Shoup

Oh, notes to grindstone, please. I would like to think that the presidents that we honor, only George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, I choose. We call it President's Day, but it's only just presidents, plural. I feel it's very specific. I feel it's just two presidents that we're honoring today. I am. Anyway, that's how I'm observing it today. I don't know how you're doing it.
