A Memorial Day Barbecue



I went up to Fort Collins today for a Memorial Day barbecue with my sister Susan and brother-in-law George. It was a rather laid back day, nothing like back in the good old days when we all used to go for a hike in Rocky Mountain Park. It would usually be overcast in the city, but when we arrived at the park the weather would be very threatening. We would start up the fog shrouded trail and within minutes the trail would be snow-covered, getting deeper with every step. Soon visibility would decrease to practically zero due to the fog, and by this time my now ex-wife Lisa would start to freak out. Then we would all turn around, head for the first bar we spotted, and drink beer. Those were the days!
