Apparently it's Memorial Day

[conuly]

I didn't realize until I bumped into some neighborhood kids during school hours. Still, it's better than the year nobody told us they were going to have an air show on Memorial Day pretty much right over our house and I ended up in the basement with the kids for a good ten minutes. The kids thought I was absolutely out of my mind, but the last time I'd heard military planes right over my head was 3rd period, 9/11, immediately after our teacher informed us that all they knew is that all the planes had been grounded nationwide, so.

Edit: It is not Memorial Day. To be honest, I don't really keep track of that sort of thing now that the kids aren't in school. They're in college, they can keep track of their own days off.
