Memorial Day Weekend Begins…
“Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a GIFT. That’s why it’s called the present.” — Bill Keane
Memorial Day weekend has begun. From now through Monday we’ll be celebrating the founding of our country and the sacrifices made by soldiers in wars and conflicts.
Tomorrow morning we’ll be at Morgan’s Grove market from 9:00 Am to 12:00 Noon. Tomorrow night, Elly and I are going to Full Circle Theater to see Last of the Boys, a play by Steven Dietz.
Also, at some time this weekend (probably tonight), we’ll be going to the Old Opera House to see a film I’ve been waiting for: Pom Wonderful presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold by Morgan Spurlock.
Monday I’ll be hosting Winners and Losers for John Case on WSHC (89.7 FM) from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. To listen on your computer if you are out of our limited broadcast range, go to http://www.897wshc.org/listen_live/index.html.
Have a great weekend, my friends, and if you are at any of the things in Shepherdstown I’m going to, say “Hi”.
A statement to remember from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg:
Speaking in support of gay marriage, Mayor Bloomberg uttered a 4 word phrase that I think should be spread on T-shirts and tattoos everywhere:
“Near-equality is no equality.”
Speaking at The Cooper Union, Bloomberg added:
“We are the freest city in the freest country in the world — but freedom is not frozen in time… I see the pain that the status quo is causing, and I cannot defend it”
Bloomberg was presented to the audience by his niece, Rachel Tiven, who is gay.
