Memorial Day Weekend

I say it ever single year on Memorial Day Weekend. It always rains and it is always cold on Memorial Day Weekend. This past week, we suffered through 90 degree temperatures with 100% humidity. And of course, the air conditioners were not yet out of storage.

As a kid, I worked at the local swimming pool. I would be so excited to start work at my job on Memorial Day Weekend. I would wake up Saturday to find rain, cold, and wind, and the pool would stay closed. Pool closed = no income for me. That really sucked.

As I got older and started going to the shore for the holiday weekend, I fought 6 hours of shore traffic for a trip that should take 2 hours tops. I'd get to the shore after braving that chaos to fin...you got it...a cold and rainy weekend at the beach.

This Memorial Day promises to be a bit better. Right now it is 44 degrees (usually it is 60 this time of year). I hear there is little chance of rain which is a true miracle. It's going to be cool and windy today, but I guess the picnic/party we're going to will work out just fine.

Sunday and Monday look a bit better. My fingers are crossed. Hopefully, this is a good sign to the start of an awesome summer!
