Memorial Day

It was a grand 3-day holiday weekend. This Monday also ended the National Backyard Games Week…Tuesday will mark the end of the National Barbeque Month.

I’m not sure if that is a complement or shot – I choose “complement”. As my FS will attest, we both enjoy our British humor, especially from John Cleese. Thanks Larry! This is too funny.
