Veteran's Day '08
This will not be a long post, but I did want to put something up in honor of Veteran's Day.
If you didn't know, I am a supporter of our men and women in uniform. Unlike other countries (Russia, for example), we do not have mandatory military service - we have a 100% voluntary military (yes, occasionally we have a draft, but we've not had a draft for more than 30 years). The men and women who are currently in our military are there because they volunteered to be there.
So 'hats off' to those who serve. Know that you are appreciated by at least one red-blooded American (though take my word for it, there are a lot of us). Thank-you for your service.

I did indeed notice the lack of motivation, however I've attributed that to your extensive travels of late. Hopefully the jet lag will wear-off and you'll be good as new soon ;)
...and this is a perfect salute to the Vets. Thank you.
