Forgot to add that they'll have us standing out on a busy street with boots in hand.

Are you guys confusing this with Labor Day?

any opportunity to have us stand out in the street and collect for somebody. I believe this one might be so that the Board of Directors of a local boys club can get new cars.

I just went down to the local pond for an hour to play around with the bluegills and froze my ass off. It's 54 and overcast here.

And despite the crappy weekend weather it's getting better and better ... just found out I'm going to Red Lobster tonight.

This was a weekend of firsts for me. First time I've ever done anything fun on Memorial day. Usually I'm working on the farm. First time I went away for the Memorial day weekend. Holy hell could the average person suck worse at driving? Lastly it was the first time I've gone away with out Nic. It was a bit bitter sweet. All in all I had a nice weekend though. Mainly I sat in a lawn chair staired out at a lake and drank with friends.

Talked with the neighbor- the one who lost her 38 y/o husband unexpectedly last fall- yesterday as she was headed back home to S. Ill. to go to a party. First time she was going to make this particular party since she and her husband always went to their place at Carlyle Lake over the holiday weekend.
I bet she felt similarly.
