As most of you know (at least if you're here in the good 'ol U.S. of A.), today is Memorial Day.  I was thinking about this yesterday at my gig... a lot of folks seem to look at Memorial Day as a really good day to not go to work, have a party, have a few beers, and, in my case, make some money playing at said parties.  But how often do we lose sight of what this day is really all about?  In the end, we would not be assured of our right to do any of the things I mentioned above if it were not for the sacrifice of the countless men and women who have been fighting for this great country for over 200 years.  They
 were willing to give of themselves for the benefit of you, me, and every other American out there, and they certainly deserve our honor and respect, today and every other day.

Enjoy the holiday, and remember those who made it possible!
