We're at the weekend that marks the 'unofficial start of summer,' even though my calendar and yours don't actually show its start until June 20. A minor detail.
So much stuff to jam into a three-day weekend, right?
I hope the weather turns out to be decent or decent enough for that run to the shore (along with ten or so other million folks doing the same thing).
And the mall? Forget about it! Those short-sleeved Tommy Bahama summer shirts aren't going to buy themselves you know and there's probably a bargain of two to be had at Abercrombie and Fitch if you get there early enough.
Do you know where it won't be mobbed? Your local cemetery, the section(s) where our towns provided final resting places to those who lost their lives while serving in our armed forces. Except, crazy English yet again, they didn't LOSE their lives, they GAVE them for what they believed to be the defense of the rest of us. Yeah, the reason for the holiday.
