For my fellow Americans, have fun and do your cookouts, but don't forget what this holiday is all about.
I've lost too many friends in this damn war. Honor them.


“What kind of dream is it?” said Odin
In which just before day rises, I thought I cleared Valhalla for the coming of slain men.
I awoke the Einherjar, Bade Valkyries rise up,
To strew the benches and scour the beakers.
Wine to bear as if a king were coming.

To me, from the world, I expect heroes to come
Certain great ones.
So glad is my heart.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

This Memorial Day is a somber one for me. I lost a good friend of mine in January, a dude who was like a brother to me growing up. He came back from his stint in the Marines five years ago, but could never shake the demons that followed him home.

Aye..... the VA backlog. One veteran suicide is too many. I will drink for your friend, as well.

Norse mythology speaks of Valhalla as being basically a giant eternal backyard kegger and cookout, with warriors from all generations and countries. No more friends and enemies, just brothers and sisters. So, yes.... I'm sure Odin has hotdogs and burgers.
