Just a quick note on Memorial Day,
Whether you are having a day of barbeque and beer or chardonnay and cucumber sandwiches, please take a moment to remember those of 'The Greatest Generation.' There are few of those amazing people left, the ones who won WW2 and came back to build this magnificent civilization we live in. I recently lost such a person, an old friend and a true hero who served in the nightmare of New Guinea in WW2.
If you know such a person who is still with you, see that they have a special time on this day which was created to honor them. If not, just stop and give a thought or two to the men and women of that time. They ill gear you. Great souls never die.
Then, go out and have some fun. They would want you to.

Rainy Day
'Rainy day, dream away. Let the Sun take a holiday. Let it drain your worries away. Lay back and dream on a rainy day'. Jimi Hendrix from Electric Ladyland
Ah, Memorial Day is here. A 3 day weekend and, if the Sun is shining where you are, that means fun and games, friends and family. Baseball, golf, tennis, swimming, hunting fishing. Meats will be grilled and grown ups will join kids and dogs in joyous revelry. Have fun.,
However, if you are in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, you are awaiting the arrival of Tropical Storm Alberto. This will not be dangerous, unless you are dumb enough to go driving around in it. But, it will be annoying, if you let it get to you.
There is no reason for upset. You still have time off and the TV will have an abundance of movies and games. There is music to hear and books to read (remember, I have books on sale on Amazon. Sorry, I couldn't resist a quick commercial). So what if you can't grill outdoors; you can still fix great meals in your kitchen and sooth your nerves with an extra bite or two (it's a holiday. you have permission to go off your diet for the weekend).
Most important of all is the opportunity to spend more time with family and friends. So relax. Don't let the rain get you down. Put your feet up and if you doze a little, that's just fine. Lay back and dream on a rainy day.
