I keep telling the folks here it's only a matter of time before we start celebrating it here like other major US holidays and occasions. Halloweens gotten really big here and the Christmas decorations outside homes? Wasn't like that here when I was a kid. Heck even Valentines day, use to be a time only cards for your honey was available, now there telling us to give them to our teachers, the local dog walker, even our pets.
I blame MTV for the spiral.
Hey! Come on over, and I'll grill you a steak, brat, or burger. If that doesn't suit your fancy, I've got Boca burgers and spinach salad in the fridge.
I heard from a friend who use to be an Airline Stewardess that there are a couple American type bars that celebrate things like this for ex-patriates in London.
Went to a neighbor's cookout and ate lots of burgers, sausages and chicken and washed it down with plenty of cold beer.
A great day.
