All Saints Day was the only Catholic holiday I could really get my arms around. While all my friends who went to public school had to get out of bed, shake off the sugar high and head to class, only to sit perplexed while the numbers danced on the blackboard, us uniform-wearing types laid around all day, sorting the Milk Duds from the Butterfingers and giving the dog all the Good & Plenty. Ah, memories. Read on for Washington State news.
