We don’t yet have an estimate of the number of Americans who came out in every state in the nation today to celebrate Flag Day and the 250th anniversary of the US Army in protest of the dictator-style military parade in Washington.
But we know the numbers were huge. Here in Massachusetts, we did not have the weather on our side. Despite that, the village Green in Falmouth was full of people. I heard one estimate of over 1500 people. Whatever, it was fantastic.
I came home a drippy, cold mess. I had planned to change into dry clothes and go back downtown to have a lobster roll and strawberry sundae at the annual Saint Barnabus event, but instead I changed clothes, laid down to take a short nap, and woke up after 5 pm. I needed that nap as whatever this sinus/respiratory issue I have been having since Tuesday is lingering on. My body is telling me that I need rest and when my friend Lynne left this morning, she also told me to get some rest. For once in my life, I am listening.
