Holiday Travel
So many reasons to hate travelling on holidays … any holiday.
We stayed home. I opened the pool on Saturday to find not only an inordinate amount of algae, but also because of all the recent wind and rain, lots of leaves and sticks and dirt. I spent all my free time back and forth down there trying to clean up. The water temperature was 68 degrees on Monday, but that was not cold enough to keep my daughter and her friends out.
We also had company, a friend of my daughter and her family. Typical and delicious Memorial day fare: salads, burgers and dogs, and also my father’s Steak a la Rascal (London Broil marinated in garlic, onions, and red wine). Oh, and plenty of cold Belgian ales. So, a nice afternoon in the sun and heat, talking with my friend Alex about the downloadable music phenomenon (he highly recommends emusic.com for great jazz), the girls alternating between the pool (too cold) and the hot tub (too hot), and that undeniable flavor in the air that summer finally is here.
