A Magical Memorial Day!

Well, ye socks, you'll have to forgive me if I'm not exactly bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning.

It seems yours truly was more than a little jazzed after last night's concert and couldn't go to sleep at a decent hour.

Besides, I had to hang on til after 11:30 to get the final word on the big game at the Amway Arena.

Good news: THE MAGIC WON! (Convincingly, even: 99-89)

But, while we celebrate that victory and wave our Blue and White flags on our ways to the multiple BBQ's that will dot the Central Florida landscape today, let us not forget the purpose of this holiday. Take a few moments to contemplate those who have given us so much. For, while it's always great to be a Magic fan, it's infinitely greater to be an American.

Now, I think someone around here mentioned some ribs . . .
