DAY 306: GOING TO THE MATTRESSES

     Why are there so many mattress sales on Memorial Day?  I didn't buy one today, but I might as well have with all the clothes and shoes I bought.  I wonder how they came up with the saying "going to the mattresses" in the movie the Godfather.  Apparently, it means preparing for battle, which is how I felt at going from store to store at the mall today.  There were swarms of people everywhere.
