Not an off-day for D-Dad, and the kids are in school.

Not off, but will observe Nigel Tufnel Day (11/11) in my own silent way.

Lab closed, taking Fboy to Cooperstown/MLB HOF for the day. He's never been there.

Off. Will spend the day with a three-year old. Expect to be happily exhausted.

Working, but earning an extra personal day that I have to take before year's end.

Crazy.

Suck. Sorry. I hope you goofed off as much as possible.

At the beginning of serving today in my dinner program, I got a notion in my head, and I asked if there were any veterans. Four hands went up, and I asked if anybody would mind if we served them first. Everybody clapped and said no.

It was a big deal, you know? For folks who daily suffer the indignity of lining up to eat, cutsies is a commodity.

Then one guy, who seemed pretty high to begin with starts demaning to know which war one of the guys was in, asking for ID. Yelling at me that he's lying. I get conned often enough and I'm thinking, "So what if he's conning --- you get your dinner five seconds later." I mean, four people in 70. Big whoop.

The other three start pulling out their ID cards, and I'm thinking, nobody's ruining anybody's day here. "Put your cards away, nobody's has to prove anything." To the big mouth, I just gave a huge, "SHUT UP!"

Seriously, though, I'd really like... I'd like a lot of things, but it would be great if we could bring a sunset on the term "homeless vet." We can be for or against every last government entitlement, but if there are to be any, they should be the ones getting 'em --- get on the front of a better line than my soup line.

It was our honor to serve.
BTW- just want to let you know that my son-in-law really appreciated your welcome-home posts.

Thanks for taking the day off to celebrate my daughter's birthday. :)

In any case, I work Veteran's Day.
