So today is Memorial Day weekend, formerly known as Decoration Day, where we commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in military service. Most businesses are closed in the UK due to a bank holiday, so suffice it to say that things will be rather slow today. We will update as things roll in, though.
We have a BBQ to attend later in the day, and we're already looking forward to it. The in-laws are gone, the house is nice and quiet, and after cleaning up, we may even watch some shows on the DVR.

Yesterday was a bit of a boring day. The in-laws were out and about, and I was working and playing CrimeCraft, so not too much interesting was going on.
Nothing but sad news actually:
Gary Coleman passed away, as well as
Dennis Hopper, star of
Apocalypse Now,
Easy Rider and a slew of other hits. Hopper, 74, had been battling prostate cancer for a while, and pictures of recent public appearances had him looking like he already had one leg in the grave.

Memorial Day weekend, formerly known as
Decoration Day, commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. It's also our excuse to troll The History Channel or A&E looking for war movies that we've seen a dozen times before.
Since we've already seen
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the only other movie opening this weekend is
Sex and the City 2, but we'll pass on that. However, on Monday, some friends were wise enough to invite us to their BBQ, so I'm already looking forward to that. Cold beer and some steak — sounds like a plan to me!
