Memorial Day 2010

With this holiday weekend winding down Southern Man will kick off eight weeks of summer school tomorrow. All for extra pay, of course, which will come in handy. And rather than simply give the usual thanks to the many who sacrificed that we might live in a land of unprecedented peace and security and plenty, Southern Man will also reflect on:

• Wonderful parents who do so much for so many in the family...
• The excitement of teenage daughter moving in for a year...
• The drama of Southern Man's ex and her new husband...
• Trepidation at the notion that ten-year-old daughter will soon live six hours away...
• Some success at dealing with some long-term financial issues...
• Renewing bonds with old friends...
• Overwhelming relief at being single again...
• Ongoing projects at The Land and the promise that holds for the future...

A good Memorial Day to all!
