1. Am I the only one who thought he went by Billy Buckner?

2. Agreed. Not dying due to weather, just overcrowding (and probably people who shouldn't be there in the first place)

3. Somehow Armistice Day (aka Veterans day), Memorial Day, and 4th of July (aka Independence Day) have all become Thank a Veteran day

4. And I'd add wholehearted love/support of US military on there with the other two

Or are my comments too political?

How's the knee? Lots of walking, hopefully that's a good sign.

Sigh, always make me think more deeply. Thanks. Hope the knee continues to do well. All my best to Abby during the final days of HS!

Abby is graduating? Holy cow, these kids are growing up so fast. What's her plan for next year?

Looks like Mueller agreed with your assessment of his report

No walking since Monday?

Jon - lots of walking, just tired of posting about it. New post coming up for today though.

Abby is going to the University of Montana in the fall.
