1) It's a gorgeous day and we are free
2) I'm at work, remembering our heroic veterans
3) No one else is at work, since it is a Federal holiday
4) My cubemates are no where near me
5) It's a day devoted to remembering those who have served:
Grandpa, Grampy, Uncle Roy, Uncle Bud, Uncle Vin, Uncle Bob, and to all our other brave soldiers!
So as I sit at work today, enjoying silence in the cubicle jungle, I am even more able to reflect on our veterans. I can also bask in the glory of the phenomenal parking space I got at the train station this morning! Woohoo!
Does this post make me seem shallow? I hope not. Because I was truly close with my Uncle Bud, who stormed the beaches at Normandy and never quite recovered. I'm just celebrating his sacrifice in my own little way.
