Back in my world (and a whole lot of other people’s I’m sure), Monday, May 30th will mark Memorial Day. It’s an American federal holiday honoring those we’ve lost who have fought in the military, namely the United States armed forces. This is usually the time I’d go to DC to visit the grave of my best friend Riley who was killed in combat. I got my own complicated history with the US and its military and their many actions but Riley was a man utterly devoted to defending his country and I commend him for it.
While we can’t exactly visit memorials and cemeteries of those lives, I still take this day to remember and reminisce, which I can now do at the Wilson house that has pretty much already celebrated its one-year anniversary of popping up in this world.
I’m not one to do much for this day though my sister and nephews usually had a small get-together and a BBQ at our place, something quiet and laid back, nothing like that huge extravaganza I did last year for July fourth. If anyone wants to pop by, my doors will be open, so will the BBQ grill. And Lola will probably be around asking people to play fetch.

Look, a certain birdie reminded me I’m now the only Captain America in this place, but I’m not going to pretend I’m good at making grand speeches like Steve was, so no judgement.
I’ll have extra food for y’all if you want to come through. Don’t feel like you have to if you got something to do though. This is going to be super chill.
