Salute to Veterans

Today is Veteran's Day. I know that because I have the day off (all the stories about banker's holidays are true). Selfishly and not thinking about the true meaning of the day, I can say I'm glad I have the day off. I have some painting to do, some web surfing to find time for....

But some how I think there's more to it. Veteran's Day isn't about having a day off from work to goof off or do chores. It should be a time to remember those who have served in the US Military to fight and maybe die for our freedom. That's a pretty good reason to have a day off in my opinion. So even if you don't have the day off, take time, even a second, to say thanks to those men & women who have served to protect us.

Thanks.

The new hire replied, "Thanks, do you know anything about this yearbook stuff? Because I don't..." Kelly signed up for yearbook this year...she already has Digital Photography, a questionable class and now Yearbook. Wednesday Elective Day is going t...
