It's funny how holidays seem to come along just when you need them, and this one brought the good weather with it. It was hot and sunny, even here, so to celebrate both the occasion and the sunshine, I planted flowers in my garden and drank a diet Coke.
Later in the day I did my part to honor our fallen soldiers by stuffing myself with fattening foods at a neighbor's backyard barbecue. I also got a ton of mosquito bites and had too much wine and now I feel very uncomfortable, just like our soldiers must feel when they are in the killing fields, and isn't that what empathy is all about?
