Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day wishes to everyone out there and a special note of thanks and praise to all those service men and women who continue to work hard fighting the hardest fight of all.

The residents of Schneiderville spent the morning in Ridgewood for the 5K race, which proved a bit of a disappointment for the participant but turned out to be great fun for the kids. I pulled a calf muscle during a training run on Saturday, and after two miles of road in 85F, 85% humidity it tightened up and reduced my pace to a crawl. The good news is that my 33-minute finish time will be easy to top the next time out. Cal and Mags loved the bounce tent, the snacks and the basketball hoop, though, and were completely unaffected by any muscle ailments. Tonight we're off to see the Jackals home opener at Yogi Berra Stadium, putting a nice bow on a near-perfect Memorial Day.
