Memories of the casualties of war

I think I've missed some minor holidays and celestial events.  But I did manage to eat a dairy dinner (Trader Joe's shells and brie and asparagus) for Shavout.

Today is Memorial Day.  The long weekend rest is really needed after one of the most stressful 2 week periods in my life. I've been prone since H. left for his dad's yesterday at 6 even though there is toxic waste waiting to be cleaned up in the basement.

The general atmosphere of mourning seems different this year from some which are all about beer and BBQ.

I would love it if people could exercise love not fear, Donnie Darko be damned.
