Links-R-Us, Vol. 4

It is once again link Friday. I’m sort of embarrassed that once again Friday is upon me and I haven’t written anything since last week. But please rest assured that I am writing more than just links.  And when all is ready those posts will be available for all to read.  So, without further ado, here we go!

Links-R-Us, Vol. 3

Once again link Friday is upon us.  This is no ordinary link Friday, though.

Firstly, today is Veterans Day.  I just want to thank all the Veterans that are out there for their service to each one of us and to our country.  Your sacrifices are truly appreciated and I will forever be in you and your family’s debt.  Thank you!

And secondly, this is the one, the only, 11-11-11 link Friday.  What’s in a number you might ask?  I don’t know.  What I do know is that I’m old enough that I will never ever see an 11-11-11 date again in my lifetime.  So, on that note, cheers!

Standing on a Wall

Veterans Day always stirs certain emotions in me.  Many years ago I almost served in the Air Force – almost is the key word.  Somehow we became a “kinder and gentler” nation and my dreams of being a pilot disappeared with the reduction of our military force.  (Ironically, Iraq invaded Kuwait within six months of the reduction…).  I still turn my eyes skyward every time I hear jet-noise from a military jet.  But, this isn’t about me.
