Memorial Day

I was thinking the other day, is "Happy Memorial Day" an appropriate thing to say? For most people, Memorial Day is something to celebrate because we don't have to work. But the holiday is dedicated to those who gave their lives defending the country, so should we treat it as a joyous occasion like, for example, Christmas or Thanksgiving? I don't know the answer. I'll have to think of it some more... on my day off tomorrow. :-)

Back from vacation

I just got back from my vacation in the mountains. It was nice, except that I caught a cold halfway through it. I thought about coming back then, but I decided to just stick it out and see what happens. The scenery was grand, now that spring's in full bloom. As is always the case, I didn't want to go back home, but I eventually did, albeit two days later than I planned to. Oh well, I'm sure nobody cared.

Going on vacation

Now that Lisa has moved out, things are slowing at work, and the weather is turning nice, I've decided to take a week off and head to the mountains for some camping. I'm not sure yet exactly where I'll go, but that's part of the fun.
