Memorial Day!

This morning I mourned my fallen friend, Col. C.C. "Buck" Coffman, USMC. Buck was the father of one of my oldest friends, and helped keep me sane during my weird teenagerhood. He fought bravely in Korea and Viet Nam, and spent the rest of his life with pain as his reward. He was one of the sweetest, gentlest men I have ever known. He died last fall, and I miss him.

In a totally ironic fashion, I shall spend my day cleaning closets and grading papers.I know, it's boring, but I gotta do it. Hubby doesn't have any shorts, and it's finally getting hot here.

New essay question: If you could be rescued by any super hero, who would it be, and why?
