a day reserved for commemorating those who died doing service for their country makes me crave beer and potato salad. how crass. I guess bbq’s and $4 gas is our way of thanking dead soldiers for keeping us free. A friend of mine, when asked what she was doing for the long weekend, answered “going to the graveyard”. the graveyard? is that some new goth bar?
no *ahem*. apparently that is what you are supposed to do on memorial day, put flowers on graves in remembrance to those who died serving our nation. whoops. bbq’s should start taking place in cemeteries–then maybe the reason for this whole holiday would make a little more sense to people like me who just get it confused with Labor Day.
