My boss brought everyone a box of salt water taffy the other week. Each piece was like a rock so I threw it away.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I keep forgetting it's not a long weekend for you guys. Mind you, I've worked all three days, so not much of a long weekend for me either.
Here in the GWN, we celebrate many things on this day.
- It is officially called Victoria Day.
- As children, we called it Firecracker Day, as it used to be the only day where it was legal to shoot off fireworks.
- It is also known as the unofficial First Day of Summer, when many people open up their trailers or cottages for the season. It is also the first weekend that it is recommended to plant your outdoor flowers, with the risk of overnight frost being days behind us.
- Most people, however, call it May Two-Four, which has as much to do with the date as the cases of beer being consumed at backyard barbecues nationwide.
So, from my house to yours, I wish you all a Happy Victoria Day/Firecracker Day/First Day of Summer/ May 2-4.
Beer stores, liquor stores, grocery stores (not that you can buy alcohol there anyway) are all closed, so I hope you stocked up on Saturday.

You know what's funny?
For some reason I feel that typically our Memorial Day falls on the same day. Not this year.

I had thought so too (some years), but Google says no, they are always a week apart.

Americans won't be struggling to find liquor for our holiday weekend.

Canadians tend to plan ahead. Pretty much everything is shut down tight today.
Heck, even the Jays have the day off.
Cause it was kinda hard to hold one of these while you were in the main part of the attraction!
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away...
Saw Boston last night, what a rush.

Boston is not Rush. Two different groups.

Still hung up on this Kona ressie on 9/11.
I know that the new nighttime hours at DAK have been announced to 9/5. Surely they will be extended beyond that, yes?
Thinking of switching 8:00 Kona to 6:15 Boma, and then making AK our evening park.
MK in the morning, Disney Springs in the afternoon, and then AK in the evening.
This is very frustrating with incomplete park hours.
ETA - Done.
Boma it is. Zebra Domes for everyone!
