A Wiener on Memorial Day

Memorial Day. A day set aside to remember those in the armed services who protect our way of life. Thanks to all who have served.

It is also a day of family gathering and, often, cooking out. Hamburgers, chicken, wieners.
I think it may also be a day when my long-suffering wife thinks back to what might have been if she had married a normal guy.

We had a bit of a scare Saturday night when Dad headed back to the emergency room. You know he is there too much when they say, "Hello, Mr. Walker. Your usual room?" Luckily, he was released after an IV and was able to party yesterday at our cook-out. But Dad, stay away from the pool.

We had the girls an extra night when their A/C went out. It is supposed to be fixed this morning at 11. I hope so. Of course, as it always works out, whatever is broken is not the part that is still under warranty.

Well, back to work. At least it is a nice, 4-day workweek.
