Over The River And Through The Woods…

I just found out that Sunday was Grandparent’s Day.

And not just any Grandparent’s Day, but the 30th anniversary of the holiday itself, commemorating the very first time it was observed back in September of 1970.

So I hope you all called your grandma and grandpa and told them how much you love them. Or your nana and pop-pop. Or mee-maw and paw-paw. Or whatever you call them.

We celebrated here at Radiation Sickness by watching The Electric Grandmother, a 1982 TV movie based on Ray Bradbury’s I Sing the Body Electric and penned by none other than the author himself.

Maybe you could get together with your grandparents and check it out.

Then again, it’s kind of weird, so they might not like it.

But we sure did.

You Bring The Potato Salad

It’s Labor Day. The symbolic end of summer.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because tomorrow we have to close up the pool and put our white deck pants in storage.

So in order to commemorate the passing of another season, we here at Radiation Sickness have decided to have a traditional holiday cookout, and you’re all invited.

It’s actually a clambake, so I hope you like seafood.

The only thing is, we don’t have any clams. Or mussels. Or lobster.

But we do have crab meat. A TON of it.

That’s because we’re really celebrating the holiday by taking a look at 1980’s Island Claws.

So you go and read the review and I’ll start working on melting the drawn butter. We’re going to need a lot of it, so it might take a while.
