Happy Memorial Day!

Seems a bit inappropriate to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day--aren't we all supposed to be mourning the nation's war dead? ;-) But hey, it's a long weekend, so fire up the grill and ice the beer and wish your friends and neighbors a Happy Memorial Day! I'm right there with you!

That reminds me of the time I went to Walmart, the Evil Empire, last Labor Day weekend. The cashier wished me "Happy Holidays" as I was leaving. Um...Labor Day is a federal holiday, with no religious connotations--you don't need to rephrase "Happy Labor Day" into more politically-correct terms! Labor Day is just Labor Day. Or is Labor Day offensive to the unemployed and we need to be sensitive about that?

Happy Memorial Day!

  • It's April, say what? - 1) It is already April. How this happened I do not know. I will probably say this again on May 2nd as well. 2) I haven't been writing here. I enjoy stating...
