Today is Veteran's Day, no matter what you think of the Iraq War or what you think of the politics of the day, never forget the brave Men and Women that serve and have served our nation. Tell a Veteran thank you. Do something nice for them. Comfort a family who has lost a Veteran.
If you're a brass player, one way to help is to join Bugles Across America and volunteer to ensure that no Veteran's funeral has to have a recording of Taps.

Lyrical Thought #32
Faith of the Heart
Rod Stewart
It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothings in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No there not gonna hold me down
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No there not gonna change my mind
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
I've known a wind so cold and seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
Faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith of the soul
That no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
Its been a long road
Update
Ok so I haven't written much of substance lately. Here's the last week or so in the cliff notes version. Last weekend I drove over to Kansas City to visit Nick and Kimmy and my God children. I can't believe how fast Gabe and CeCe are growing up. They're both running a mile a minute of course and really starting to talk. They've developed their own twin language between the two of them in addition to the English they know. Getting to hold them and run around with them has really made me more sure that I want kids someday.
This week has mainly been work and more work as normal. I'm taking today off to sorta relax and get started on reorganizing the apartment into a semblance of order. This afternoon I'm driving up to Rockford to visit Michelle. Makes me wish that all of my friends and I could live in one place and still have our jobs. It'd be like college without the exams.

All Saints Day Mass
Ok so tonight of course was Mass for All Saints Day. The Gospel reading was the Beatitudes. Unfortunately when the Priest read the part about "Blessed are the peacemakers" my silly brain started into the Monty Python routine from the Life of Brian... "Blessed are the cheesemakers? Why the cheesemakers?"
