Veterans Day history where we are asked to -

"commemorate the recurring anniversary of this date with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations."

The Price of Freedom: Americans at War from the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.


Usually we think of poppies on Memorial day but it's good to think about The Flower of Remembrance on this hero's day as well.

Patriotic pictures and music from the U.S. Army Military District of Washington can be found at Spirit of America.

The Arlington National Cemetary ceremony honoring the service and sacrifice of America’s military veterans is scheduled for today at 11 a.m. in Arlington National Cemetery. This includes laying of the wreath on the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier.

---------------------------------------------------------

On a personal note I would like to say,

Thank you to veterans who have gone on; John for your service in World War I and George for your service in the Korean War.

Thank you to all the veterans, their families, loved ones, friends and supporters. We owe you more than we could ever repay.

Laurie Anderson

Got to see and hear Laurie Anderson at the Moore Theatre in Seattle last night.

Wonderful performance.

What a great storyteller, musician and artist she is.

She hooked a small video camera to her violin bow and displayed the image onscreen. It was so cool. It's hard to describe. I was lucky to get seats in the front. We were about 10 feet from the stage. Really nice small venue.

In this MSNBC Interview With Laurie Anderson she talks about being selected as NASA Artist in Residence.

If I'm a good boy maybe Santa will bring me her interactive CD Puppet Motel

HOMEpage OF THE BRAVE: Laurie Anderson is a good source of information.

I was introduced to her music when they used to play songs from the album Big Science on the Montana State University radio station in Bozeman.

Gotta love a song called "Let X=X" or a song like "Sweaters" where she sings "I no longer love the way you hold your pens and pencils."

We live on an island

I was thinking of planet earth as an island...and a nice tropical island on planet earth and started yet another webpage. You can click the pink inflatable chair to go there. It needs some work, pretty much just a frame right now.

Sitting Up and Taking Solid Food

So I guess I can't complain.

It's just after 2 am.

Nice and quiet here.

Enjoy the Silence

Not sure what to do next.

I can think of all sorts of things I need to do. Just not sure what I should do.

Eat when hungry, sleep when tired - I'll do that.

Only thing is just eating and sleeping, like all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.

I think the corollary is all play and no work makes Jack an even duller boy.
--------------------------------------------

I will count my blessings. They are many.


This morning I am thankful for the small things.

Life is short and very precious. Choose how you spend it wisely.

--------------------------------------------------------

Deep breath.

Ahhhhhhhhhh that feels good.

I think I'll go float around the blogosphere for awhile.

May you find inner peace or at least enjoy yourself while raising hell.

Peace Pilgrim

Welcome to Peace Pilgrim's home on the Internet

From 1953 to 1981 a silver haired woman calling herself only "Peace Pilgrim" walked more than 25,000 miles on a personal pilgrimage for peace. She vowed to "remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food." In the course of her 28 year pilgrimage she touched the hearts, minds, and lives of thousands of individuals all across North America. Her message was both simple and profound. It continues to inspire people all over the world:

"This is the way of peace: overcome evil with good,
and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love."
