A Friend Lost

It's with great sadness I report Terrie and I lost our cat and best buddy, Cleo, after roughly 17 years (that's anywhere from 102 - 153 human years).

She will be missed.

Veterans Day Salute

Well, it's Veteran's Day - the day we honor all who have and are serving our fine country. For a history of how Veterans Day came into existence, check out the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs - History of Veterans Day. Did you know Veterans Day was originally known as "Armistice Day"?

In honor of my family's Veterans, here is a picture of my Grandfather during WWII.



Grandpa, Thanks for your service. You will always be remembered.

Memorial Day

Folks, just a reminder, this coming Monday (the 31st of May) is Memorial Day.

So...

Raise a flag...

Tip a glass...

Bow a head...

Say a prayer...

...or just take a moment to remember all of those who came before us without whom we would not have the blessings and benefits we have today.

And please, have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
