November

It's hat and gloves and boots season suddenly and it's pitch black at 5pm when I exit work. So mornings like today -- the Veterans' Day holiday -- are a special treat for Yeager and me as we remember Daylight Saving Time and walk in the sunshine.

No big plans for the holiday.  I'm trying to convince Carey to drive my car to Hoffman's Car Wash, which is washing vets' cars for free. She's not feeling great -- has the same ick the rest of us have had in the last month -- but if we do get out, she'll enjoy a free meal somewhere, too. Thank you for your service, babe, here's a salad.
