The Memorial Day holiday is just about at a close, and what did we do over this long weekend? Pretty much nothing, which was actually kind of cool. Saturday night we went downtown for a few drinks, and I tried a new beer called Sunrye, which I liked. Mike didn't like it so much, but he had a Guiness beforehand, and this was the complete opposite. Sunday we tried a new (to us) place for breakfast called Sammy's. Good food, but the service was so-so at best. Probably not someplace we'll go back to. In the afternoon we saw the new X-Men movie, which was pretty good. A lot of characters got killed off, but if you stay past the credits you'll see an extra scene which raises some questions. Today we went to Allerton Park. We didn't stay long because it was very hot, but it was still nice to be out there. We also stopped by Circuit City, and their computers were working again so we were able to pick up some movies and music. I got the new Eagles of Death Metal cd, as well as the Raconteurs, and I'm very excited to give those a listen. We've picked up a lot of new music lately, and I'm still trying to catch up.
And of course, the reason for this day off-the men and women who serve our country. I may not agree with the situation in Iraq, but I am very appreciative and supportive of the soldiers who are serving there and in other parts of the world. And of course, the ones who have fought over the years and have given up so much in order to serve their country. To all the veterans, thank you.
