Happy Memorial Day

Daeng and I wanted to wish everyone a "Happy Memorial Day".

We are just hanging out at our guest house here in Bangkok today. We will be headed for Pattaya, Thailand tomorrow after I visit the American Embassy for more pages in my passport.

We had breakfast at the Chinese Restaurant by the Tobacco Monopoly. They specialize in duck. I was thinking to myself, after all these ducks have been through they managed to keep their heads!

I have been reading about Memorial Day on the Internet. One thing that I did not know is that Memorial Day was to have started in Watertown, NY. As an upstate New Yorker that made me fell kind of warm and fuzzy.

I forgot that today was Memorial Day as I'm old. When I was young Memorial Day was on May 30th each year. I was about 30 years old when it was changed to the last Monday of the month to let everyone have a three day weekend. I'm not judging, I'm just saying.

Best wishes to ALL!
