Somehow it doesn’t seem quite right to say “Happy Memorial Day.”

–

Would like all these MLB camouflage hats for Memorial Day Weekend more if they didn’t feel like just another way to sell stuff.

Pitchers who kinda sorta rake. Cueto had a sacrifice fly Sunday  for SF Giants. They will take it.

–

SHN sends email thank you notes to everyone who buys Hamilton tickets after the show and suggests posting on social media about #HamiltonSF to spread the word. Right. Because they’d hate to have lots of empty seats for the rest of the show’s run? #WTF

–

The long lull between the Western and Eastern conference championships and the NBA finals continues…  Why, this is enough of a break for players to start and finish a relationship with a Kardashian.

–

People at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom were waiting in line six hours or more to enter the new “Pandora – the World of Avatar” land this morning.  Wonder how long some of these folks would wait in line to vote.

–

Eight dead in #Mississippi. Not terrorism, just regular American gun violence. Move along, nothing to see here.

–

From “Ivanka Trump HQ” verified Twitter account  “Make champagne popsicles this #MemorialDay”

They go so well with all that cake we’re supposed to eat.

Give @realDonaldTrump credit for one thing on his foreign trip – a unified Europe

Trump tweets were so abnormally calm and measured last week, then so “normal” Sunday can only assume someone convinced him Twitter didn’t work in Europe?

–

John Kelly, the Director of Homeland Security who will make the decision if Americans can continue to take their laptops, iPads and Kindles on international flights without checking them in luggage, also said last month “a border wall is essential” because of “tremendous threats” such as drugs and individuals coming into the US.

Now I feel much safer . #sarcasm

So if you’re at a play and miss hearing the SF Giants bullpen looking at first like they might blow another game, but the team hangs on…is it still torture?

California Senator Kamala Harris and Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown have bet cases of good beer on the Warriors and Cavs for the NBA championship. So will they next bet cases of generic beer on if the 49ers or Browns will end up with next year’s #1 NFL draft pick?

–

Newark Airport was partially evacuated today after a “suspicious pressure cooker” was found in a shopping bag. It turned out to be harmless. But thinking if you are flying to a wedding and thinking of giving someone a pressure cooker as a present this summer, maybe best to have it shipped

RIP Gregg Allman, 69. Not sure what’s worse for baby-boomers, having had music heroes die young, or having them die from at least somewhat age-related causes.

–

British Airways canceled all flights Saturday from London after what say is “a major IT system failure.” And United might be quietly smiling – “what a drag.”

What would we give to hear what other world leaders were privately saying about Trump when he went off to give solo troop speech in Italy?

–

Trump on his foreign trip “We hit a home run.” As SF Giants fans have sadly learned for too much of  2017.  – One or two home runs a week means you are losing, bigly.

–

In Europe are they now feeling like Americans do when that really obnoxious house guest you really didn’t want is finally gone?

So how long until we find out someone in Trump White House has their own email server too? “If the President does it, it’s not illegal.”

–

Trump’s am tweet “I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week!” So he’ll tell us, “after the break?” #realityshowpresident

Quite a tweet storm Saturday from @realDonaldTrump. But about awful #Portland killings by anti-Muslim extremist – crickets. Why am I not surprised?

If your killer is undocumented you warrant major attention from Trump but not if your killer is white supremacist? #Sad #ReallySad #Portland
