Happy Memorial Day

I hope this holiday weekend finds you and yours enjoying a pleasant long weekend.

A History Moment
The History Channel's Memorial Day Exhibit has excellent data on the origin of the holiday and more. Did you know its roots stem from the American Civil War? While you remember all those who have died in service, also remember to honor the living vets among us.

I'll Be Around
Not that you care, but I have a pretty bland Memorial Day weekend schedule. As you can tell, I'll be around this weekend (and posting sometime Monday).

Last year my family and I took a very memorable and out-of-the-ordinary fishing trip to Grand Isle, LA. (It was memorable in that we got semi-stranded because the tide went out and we only barely got back to shore at 11 p.m. I'm not sure, but I think my Mother kissed the ground. It was out-of-the-ordinary because we actually caught fish.)

This year is tame in comparison. My family and I are actually moments away from leaving for a family reunion. That's really all I have on the agenda (other than church, which goes without saying). So I'll probably spend the rest of the weekend trying to think of something dramatic to do for next year.

Happy Memorial Day,
LAA
