As I have mentioned elsewhere, I found about I was activated for Desert Shield / Storm on the day of my wedding. Wills miraculously "appeared" from an attorney friend of the family and Marine Reservist (Infantry, not JAG). We were, of course, grateful.

And like the Men's Dept., they always have pants half off. Oh, yes, I went there.

I do it myself, and I'm perfectly OK with others doing it. In fact, I'm glad they do and wish every veteran would. As a Veteran Service Officer, I can attest I still have far too many who come into my office and begin by saying "I didn't do anything important...," or something that downplays or is deprecating toward their service. They don't believe they deserve the benefits, usually the service connected disability benefits, they are owed. Stuff like the above doesn't help. I'll cease my rant and have more coffee.

Whew! That makes that easier.

Again, guilty as charged. Why do you think I still play cowboy?

Guilty as charged.

But Abbott and Costello refined it to a masterpiece.

I was born and raised in the city, and I understand it…
