This is the first holiday weekend of the summer and marks the start of the best season of the year. I always feel a little teen age energy at this time of the year. A feeling of lightness, possibility, and renewal. The summer is a time when everything slows down and becomes less serious. The beach beckons, dining al fresco with friends and over priced rose.
Memorial Day itself also has a serious side to remember those who came before and died, in service to America. As an immigrant the American dream is my reality, it has inspired so many people around the world and drawn them here, not just for a better life, but a way of life. So this weekend lets celebrate and remember all the good in this country. Eat dad's dry overcooked burger and wash it down with a bud light.
