I am glad that you took the time to remember veterans today, Matrixman.

People who are willing to make such sacrifices for their countries deserve every honor.
Though still not feeling entirely well, I am having a productive day. I dealt with something like six loads of laundry, packed up for our trip, made sure everything is set for the pets while we are gone, and made sure to give a good watering to the house plants.

Even watched an interesting show on the History Channel called
Civil War Terror with my younger son, as we are currently studying exactly that in our home schooling history.
Tomorrow we have to take the doggy to the kennel, go watch Patrick Stewart and the Royal Shakespare Company in
The Tempest, then drive from the theater straight down to Muncie, so we can celebrate my older son's birthday.
Yes, my kids' birthdays are four days apart. What is really weird is that they both had Halloween as their due date.

One was born fourteen days late and the other ten days late.

Four years apart, of course.
We will be gone a couple of days.
