Happy Veterans Day Dad
For my Dad who served in Vietnam...
A Soldier's Lament
By Clem H. Block (1914-2004)
(My grandpa who served in World War II)
I don't want to be a soldier,
I don't want to fight another war,
I don't care to give my life blood
for the ballyhoo we've heard so many times before.
I don't care to be a hero,
Shoot and kill a human score,
Medals may be good for boy scouts,
But not for killing in a war.
Pittance pay for dirty fighting,
Munition makers get the loot,
Overtime for making bullets,
Pittance pay for those who shoot.
Politicians, Generals, listen,
Time grows shorter by the minute,
We may kill another million,
But our hearts and souls aren't in it.
Every life is precious somewhere,
Soldiers die as hours flee,
Death means more than just a headstone,
Time is fleeting- can't you see.
Draw a halt to all this bloodshed,
Call a truce no conference please,
Listen to the call of reason,
Bring us back from overseas.
Bring us back while we are living,
Too late now to help the dead,
Send us to our dearest loved ones,
For this now our prayers are said.
Love,
Jenny

Lots of photos, fewer words
Instead of blogging. Let's do photo review of life lately.
I chased down this car... it's one of the Google Map cars that takes all those "Street View" images. I met the guy who was driving it... he showed me the computer and GPS in the trunk and told me he got the job when someone approached him in a cafe... he's a retired steel worker. Oh, and this is actually his house.

Nick's birthday! He'll get to use his new Wall-E sheets for only a short time (until June 19th to be exact)... but he still loved getting them for his bday!
Trip to Los Angeles for the wedding of my friend Jess:
Babysitting...lots of babysitting:
My niece Molly who can now WALK!
Babysitter Nick wooing little Luke, our friends Krista + Jimmy's son.
