I think you can figure out what the first song on the radio was this morning.

I have many subjects to chalk about, but I’m going to keep it simple.

I’m laying in bed listening to the birds under a sky lit by a full moon and the first reach of daylight.

I don’t have to make a school lunch this morning and I’m taking the day off from work. I rarely do that, but today I’m going to skip the market and watch my firstborn graduate from high school.

Most people my age watch their children graduate from college or get married.

I’m not most people….

It’s going to be a good weekend. George graduates, the Pacers are going to start a winning streak, the Shepkids will all be in Riverside, it’s race weekend and Monday is Memorial Day.

I don’t care what political party you belong to.

I don’t care if you support Ukraine, Israel or hamxs.

I don’t care if your heritage is Irish, Italian, Mexican, Polish, Puerto Rican, Croatian, German or British.

I don’t care if you don’t want to be tread on or if you can’t breath.

I don’t care if you’re a Cubs fan, a Sox fan or an Illini fan.

This weekend we honor all U.S. military personnel who have died or were wounded while protecting our right to fly any flag we want on the side of our house.

This weekend make that flag the Star Spangled Banner.

Let’s all come together and give thanks to the American military personnel that sacrificed for our safety.

And be astonished, and be kind, and be horny, and be stuffed with brats, and be giddy upped by a Pilsner beer, and play your music cranked to eleven, and cry when you hear a bugle play “Taps.”

‘Merica…. Fuck yeah!
