To all of you who have Memorial Day off and are doing traditional things like camping or BBQing or hanging with friends, I salute you, and to my fellow folks who have to work—like my mom, who’s working her regular shift at Bed Bath & Beyond today—I double-extra salute you. Memorial Day does serve as a sort of unofficial benchmark: the end of the spring, the beginning of summer. The baseball season is no longer new, although there’s a lot of it yet to be played. Unfortunately, the Mariners aren’t playing it very well, and now have to face the Rangers, again, who just swept them in Texas.
