Hey - - it's Uncle Tommy...
You know, after all these years, I'm sure I can't be the only one who thinks it's kinda strange we wish each other a "Happy Memorial Day"... You know what I mean?
Now, don't get me wrong, I love a good time as much (or more) than the next guy...
And of course, I understand the timing (just as the weather is almost guaranteed to be nice all over the country) makes Memorial Day just about the perfect day to break out the BBQ and do a practice run for Independence Day...
And hey, maybe good food, sun, and fun with the family is kinda the perfect way to honor the memory of all those brave men and women who laid down their lives in the service of our country.
But (and don't let me harsh your mellow if you disagree), I don't think mattress sales (or even THC gummy sales) strike the right tone... you know?
Now, full disclosure, there is an unrelated sale going on at Casa Cheech & Chong right now, but that's just a coincidence of timing (you won't see me linking to it in this email...).
So, I'm just gonna say this.
I hope you have a good day today.
I hope that you've got the day off, and you get to spend it surrounded by the people (and snacks!) that you love.
And I hope you're able to spare a thought or two for the sacrifices that make this day possible.
Happy Memorial Day. Thanks for being a member of the familia. I appreciate you taking the time to open and read this short (for me, anyway) message from a sentimental old hippie.
I hope the weather is nice where you are, and you've got sun on your face and a fair wind at your back.
And whatever you get up to today, I hope you Keep on Keepin' on...
Peace and love,
