Mine was great. I got up a little after five in the morning and came in to
ROFF. Scanned some back posts and read about the W.W.II Memorial project.

Went to a few links, with photos of tired old soldiers and had a pint of
Jim
Beam cracked open by ten-thirty....spent the day outside.

Around noon, the wife and little girl came out, gave me a card, said the
loved me and went back inside, Mercifully short and sweet, I thanked them
for that - but - I have been unable to get them to totally ignore me at
times like these, or birthdays, or Christmas....

Holidays, days of torture for the emotionally empty....
