Today is the most important holiday of the year.  Some holidays are nothing but good times and celebration.  Take July 4th, for instance.  Others are bittersweet, like New Years’ or Christmas.  This is one of the latter.

There is much to celebrate, and much to mourn.  There is, at any rate, stock to be taken.

Anyway, Cat Power is playing tomorrow night.  If tickets are still available, I might just go check her out.  Keep your fingers crossed.
