    Yes, it is. A stark reminder of what we owe to those that gave their lives in service to our country. I wish the country was living up to that.

    Interesting weekend - 2 weddings for people I know on Saturday night and 2 funerals today. (Weddings - 1 mission trip kid, 1 high school classmate of Nephew Alex. Funerals - mother of a friend, father of one of Nephew John's friends. For Smoke, we laughed as we relived the famous "Does the basket count?" incident from 35 years ago. Did learn a new fact - one of the participants feels guilty to this day about it.)
    I love teaching VBS! Last few years my daughter and I have taken a class young kids.

    We have at times. But not always and certainly well enough ever.

    Studied a semester in France. Our professor took us on a trip to Normandy and timed it so we were at Omaha Beach at sunset, when Taps is played. Standing in the middle of that cemetery listening to those notes is very humbling.

    I assumed that was why her handle was 'aimo'. That famous French song by the noted Frenchman Dean Martin about famous French places like Napoli, "When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie...that's Aimo!"

    Hopefully, he also mentioned that tower of pizza over there.

    My lawnmower works so much better, now that I finally changed the air filter after 8 years. I guess Craftsman knows what they’re talking about when they say to change it after 25 hours of mowing. A good $8 investment.

    Maybe I’ll even sharpen the blade at some point.

    Hey now, don't go crazy!!!

    I'll be honest, the reel mower I recently purchased is finicky and may be more work than it is worth.

    As a high school graduation present, I took The Drewsk on a trip to Paris/London/Rekjavik (we flew IcelandAir). Between Paris and London we rented a car and did a loop through Normandy and Brittany. We visited the American Cemetery above Omaha Beach on the 4th of July. As we walked up to the cemetery we could hear a choir (they had come from Tennessee) singing "America the Beautiful". That was a moment.

    Hoping Naomi Osaka withdrawing from French Open will shine a light on mental health issues.

    She’s getting a lot of support from other athletes, which is good to see.

    Agreed. The media requirements are too much.

    If one reads the MLB thread one might think the Venn diagram of Duke basketball and St Louis Cardinals fans is just a circle.
