Long time, haven’t been visiting 2c much but today is Memorial Day and I’m back to share a greeting. Yesterday was the opening of the Beach Club. (remember last year?) Em and I went down for the bonfire and had a barbeque with the fancy-pant denizens of Fairfield County. I was incredibly bored since I’m not filthy rich and don’t play golf. (I’ve taken up Disc Golf, but that’s a different story) While Em sat around the fire with her friends from school, I got stiff drinks from the bar, ending with three fingers of Tequila. I was rocked when I got home and passed out before 11.

Woke up today, went to the Memorial Day Parade in town. I feel lucky to live in a colorful small community with the resources to enjoy life. I wouldn’t be just if I weren’t thankful for the freedom we enjoy in our town & country.

After the parade, the three of us each found a cool spot and took long naps. Three hours later, I took the dog to a local disc golf course and played through with some others. Lana will chase each drive and stand waiting over the disc. I’ve got her so she want’s it… chases it.. but won’t touch the disc. So cool! She fell into a mud pit that was much deeper than her body and looked quite scared. The guys I was playing through with thought I should have jumped in to save her… but I just stood laughing and encouraged the dog to struggle toward the edge, where she clamboured out.

Hope your days are good and life is treating you well. Peace.

After the parades, friends and families unite for the day off in the sun, a meal and general enjoyment of the holiday that also marks the beginning of summer. Today, the weather, was no less than perfect.
