Commemorating the Day

Michele is grumpy and I understand it completely. I'm grumpy too.

Before leaving work today, the overly-bubbly EA to the CEO made the rounds asking people to wear Red White and Blue tomorrow. I told her black might be more appropriate. It certainly fits my mood better.

Dressing like Uncle Sam and coerced displays of mass-marketed patriotism are not ways I can commemorate the day. For me, it's a day of remembrance not a day of celebration.
