Memorial Day

The buses were running on a Sunday schedule today due to the holiday.

Am I the only one who thinks there might be a trace of irony in remembering the sacrifices people made so (coughallegedlycough) that we could live our lives as normal...by changing up the normal routine and inconveniencing people?  I mean, wouldn't a better memorial be to run everything as normal and just take a few moments to enjoy how great our version of normal is?

I treated myself to brunch at the Santa Fe Baking Co. today, then went to Borders and spent most of the afternoon cheating Corporate America by sitting and reading magazines I had absolutely no intention whatsoever of paying any money for.  It was a lovely day.
