I had an exceptionally good Memorial Day this year - probably my best Memorial Day yet. It started out the night before by watching the movie Glory with some friends. (I did not forget the true meaning of the holiday amid my day-off activities). Then early Monday morning, a couple of friends and I hiked up near my old stomping grounds (Pleasant Grove) and sat on the top of a waterfall. After that, we finished the New York Times crossword puzzle over an all-you-can-eat French toast breakfast at Kneaders (probably one of the most divine experiences you'll ever have). Then I went home and read my book for a few hours out in the sun while drinking some terere. Then a friend invited me to go swimming - we did, and in addition I got some lovely sunburns on my legs while reading at the pool's edge. After that, several friends and I got together and ate strawberries and made hot-dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Following that I participated in an intense water-balloon war with the rest of the ward for FHE. Then, after receiving a thorough soaking (cold and wet), a group of us went hot-tubbing (warm and wet). One of the coolest things was that almost none of it was planned beforehand - hooray for summer spontaneity!
