Remembrance day

Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day In Canada. World War One ended on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, 1918. Let us have two minutes of silence to honour all of the servicemen and women, merchant seamen, and civilians who gave their all for us.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

- John McCrae

A toast to the living A drink to the dead

To absent friends.

Moi? Old? Perish the thought!

Im only old from the moment I awaken, to the time after stumbling painfully to the bathroom and then manage to take a good wiz. After that, things get much better.

Ditto here. Man, what's it going to be like when we're 80?
