Free-write
Um. Figures I’d pull the free-write when I don’t really have anything particularly concerning on my min.
I’m looking for a photo of my dad in uniform to send to the memory care coordinator at my mom’s retirement community.
My mom’s dad, as well as my dad’s dad were too young for World War II. Both were in the Navy during the interwar period.
But the biggest male role model as a kid was his maternal grandfather (so my great-grandfather). He was an Army officer during World War I. My dad wanted to be like his grandpa. And ended up being on active duty from 1973 (last days of Vietnam) to 1997.
I have some photos of him in his civilian capacity, but I’m not finding the one I’d dug of him in his civilian clothes, but I’m not seeing him in his uniform.
Obviously, with him retiring in 1997, that was kind of before the ubiquity of digital phots.
And I’m getting distracted from a bunch of things.
There’s so much going on.
The football game last night was actually sortakinda interesting, though I kept flipping back-and-forth with something on the DVR.
Still trying to figure out what’s going on with the situation in Gaza.
It is absolutely amazing to me how you can be on the wrong side of almost every single issue.
I should go get some coffee.
