Euphemisms
don’t change reality.
Not
only is this the Memorial Day weekend – although we've long since
either forgotten or abandoned that which we were to remember – but
I devoted yesterday to celebrating my granddaughters, the
valedictorian and salutatorian of their high school class. And that
was most memorable.

The apples don't fall far from the trees. Congratulations.
congratulations to all. very hard to pull off.
Congratulations to everyone! Likewise, we're celebrating our daughter's transition out of middle school and into high school. And I'm travelling a few hundred miles this weekend to put flowers on my Dad's parents' graves. I'm working overtime to rediscover that which we were to remember.
Well played, brilliant shot! (I'll shut up now, don't want to ruin it for anyone else!)
Charles, congrats to your granddaughters!
All that we should remember have not been forgotten.
If you have never visited, I highly recommend a visit to the National WW2 Museum in New Orleans, LA. This is one of the bigger weekends for the Museum.

Far from glorifying war, it tells the story of the American experience during that war and the stories of those who fought.
Congrats ! Well done .
Some of us remember .
"...valedictorian and salutatorian …"
congratulations, must have some of grandfathers intelligence.
the apple rarely falls far from the tree.

Before the compliments get too deep, there's this: At the celebratory dinner last night their father asked the girls “Are going to work this summer?"
After a nearly unbearable pause, one looked at the other and then back at her dad and asked "Why would we?"
I was never asked if I was getting a summer job, I was asked where I was working.
Times change. - ckm
Mazel tov!
