The Summer Season Kickoff
May 26, 2024
One thing Memorial Day Weekend is, they say, is the kickoff of the summer season. I’m not sure that’s what the creators of Memorial Day intended, but there it is. For Jim, the weekend’s been a lot about work, as he’s got a huge subsidence project going on which means a lot of data gathering in a lot of places all over the county, so he was gone a lot. For me, it was the end of a densely packed week and I was looking forward to a lot of time spent reading in the backyard. I always say that but somehow never accomplish that lovely goal. I did this day!
Plunked myself here…..

and here…..

Evidence:

And made great progress in a book I’ve been wanting to read for months… Matthew Perry’s memoir about addiction. What a read.
Again, maybe not what the Memorial Day planners had in mind, but a super lovely (if sad) day of reading.
