Remembering

Posted by on

Today, I’m remembering my father who passed away last June from ailments related to his exposure to Agent Orange during Vietnam. I don’t know if that counts for Memorial Day — he was there for me throughout my childhood, while many other children never got to know their fathers because of the sacrifice they made on behalf of our country. Anyway, SarahK and I finally got my dad that grandson to continue on the family name like we promised, so I hope he appreciates that. And that’s the point of those sacrifices — we keep living on and do the best we can with all we’ve been given.

You’ve Been Judged!

If you did, you should probably email Keln about becoming a guest blogger there.

If you didn’t, Anonymiss has got another straight line for you to practice on.

Keep trying. No one likes a quitter.

Afternoon? Heck, I Could Listen to This ALL DAY

Speaking to graduates of the Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School in Tennessee, Michelle Obama joked of her husband: “I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures.”

Which would be more than the press has done in total so far.

NOTE ON THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES STRAIGHT LINE CHALLENGE:

When I posted about it last Monday, I forgot that THIS Monday was a holiday. And I don’t do Straight Lines on holidays.

So, I’ll post the lists TUESDAY at noon, and declared a winner on Wednesday.

Sorry about that.
