It is 5 a.m. on the Thursday morning before the start of the long Memorial Day weekend.
I sit at my desk writing an article for my blog about camping. Before I start, I check the news on my smartphone to see what is happening in our world.
It was depressing. It almost always is.
The weather app forecast for the Memorial Day weekend was better than the news. Sunny days, cool nights with a slight chance of rain.
That was good for getting things done outside that I needed to do. There are always things to get done in the yard, garden, or workshop.
I put down my smartphone and went back to writing.
Then, in a moment of brilliance, I thought why not spend the Memorial Day weekend doing what I am writing about?
