Chinese food and holidays

After church on Sundays, Wendy and I go to Luigi's in Ledgewood, NJ for the best pizza on earth. It's less a tradition than an addiction. So we drove there after church on Easter, only to find it was closed. We drove over to the ShopRite nearby to buy some replacement food, but it was closed too. All to "observe" a "Christian holiday" or some such nonsense, as if people suddenly stop eating pizza and buying groceries simply because it's a holiday.
But God bless the Chinese. There's a little Chinese place in the same shopping plaza, and as a "screw you" to all the stupid businesses who close on major holidays, it remained open. A similar thing happened when we visited Barbados on a cruise: It was Sunday, so all the businesses were closed. But who remained open to sell us a super-cheap bottle of ice-cold Coca Cola on the hottest place on earth? The Chinese. Bless their hearts, their industriousness, and their lack of observance of American holidays. #sociology
