Rememberance Day

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

A shift in focus.

2008-09-28T00:10:13Z

Now to the average reader, it's not much.

But to okoshun , it's something I want you to know.
I'm never going to knowingly put my life in danger .

I love you.

There have been times in my life where my priorities have been misplaced.

The best trip ever.

2008-06-05T22:30:08Z

Hey all!

I just got home from the best trip ever. Just a few things I learned, and questions I have, after all was said and done.

1. I never want to fly so much that it looses it's novelty. Flying twice in 2 days, as opposed to 3 times over the previous 34 years, showed me how much fun it can be to sit there,and cover 400 miles in just over an hour. JetBlue is basically a Greyhound bus with wings, But I had a blast.

2. How does that Naked Cowboy in Times square make a living.

3. If I keep staying at these posh joints, I will be ruined. Motel 6 will miss me.

4. Skydome (now named for a maniacal Cable TV miser who isn't Ted Turner), is a glorified hole in the ground, and should be reduced to a parking lot post-haste. Over the past 3 years, I have visited 2 of baseballs cathedrals: Wrigley Field in Chicago (stay away from Cubby Bears unless you are in a Cub's jersey or very brave) and Yankee Stadium last night. See #3.

5. okoshun, this one is just between us. You know what I mean.

6. theycallmebeth, stop calling me a lurker. I found something I wanted to share. Are you happy?

Thanks for reading. More from the cheap seats at a later date.
