Happy Memorial Day, Americani!
I'm feeling appropriately patriotic. If you have a chance to watch The Story of Us series on the History Channel, do. I've watched several episodes over the last two days. It's had me choked up on more than one occasion -- the struggles and triumphs of our country's past (and present). The series is intelligently paced. It ties in the technological advancements of each era as well, and shows their impact on historical events. It's just good.
So now LA Ink is on while I type. I go high-brow, I go low-brow. I'm strangely relating to this episode. The main tattoo chick is interviewing for two new employees while absorbing their duties in the meantime. I'm hiring for two positions right now too. Sorting through resumes took an entire day by itself. Tattoo chick, I feel you.
I'm not too busy to celebrate Memorial Day though! The BBQ brigade is coming to our house today. We have a new backyard to christen, after all. And it's gorgeous out. For now.
Hug a soldier, hug a veteran, hug the free earth beneath your feet!
God bless America.
