Unofficial start of summer in America
In the United States, we are about to celebrate the start of summer. The unofficial start of summer that is. Memorial Day is an official national holiday created to commemorate our fallen soldiers in past and present military actions. Unofficially, it has become thought of as the start of summer.
The same occasion remembers our dead while we celebrate the coming of summer. Interesting, isn’t it.
I can’t help wonder what Mona Bendarova and her community would do to celebrate the coming of summer. I refer to of course to my books, ‘The Taste of Honey’, ‘Broken Steele’, and the soon to be released ‘Lucky Bitch’.
Mona and her community would be celebrating one of the biggest parties of the year. They would roast meats over a number of barbecue pits, prepare table after table of delicacies, imbibe on all sorts of hard and soft beverages, participate in a number of competitions cheering the contestants while celebrating both winners and losers, and enjoying wild group sex well into the next day. Reading her stories, you will get a sense of what I am referring to. It’s a time everyone looks forward too.
Sounds like a fun time. Eat, drink, fornicate and be merry.
I’m looking forward to my celebration of the coming summer in a completely different way. There will be many similarities yet, there will be significant differences, especially when it comes to the menu. As I eat my share this weekend, I can promise you that I will think about Mona and her housemates, friends and acquaintances.
