Memorial Day

I started to write ‘Happy Memorial Day’, but then thought better of it. Memorial Day is intended to remember and honor the soldiers who have given their time, talents and in some cases, lives or health to server their country and protect our values and way of life. I’m not really sure ‘Happy’ would be right in most cases.

So, I’ll simply say thank you to all those men, women and their families who have sacrificed so much for all of us.

I think the Happy part comes in too much for a lot of us ‘civilians’ who see Memorial Day as just a long weekend. I hope we can all take some time out of our festivities and parties to thank these heroes.

The new Miller Lite commercials are annoying. You know the ones where the Sopranos characters come in and offer ‘protection?’ They’re annoying to me for two reasons:

  1. Vincent Pastore (Salvatore) and Frank Vincent (Phil Leotardo) are just looking OLD!
  2. Braden and Emma go “Oh!” every time they say it in the commercial. And then say it again and again.

Ok, maybe it’s Braden and Emma that are annoying there? Nah… we’ll blame the writers at Miller.
