Happy Veteran's Day, and a salute to all our vets serving everywhere on this great earth, as well as to those who have served in the past. A personal thanks to both of my grandfathers, who served during WW2 and afterwards. Thanks!

Nothing like typing a blog while you've got two dogs playing at and/or ON your feet, literally. One is 16 weeks old, and the other is about 17 months old, so they've got tons of energy. I'd love to be able to can it and use it when I needed a quick boost... 

It's been cold here the last couple of nights, but now we're trading the near-freezing weather for slightly warmer but rainy weather. Not sure which I'd rather have...

My wife and I had lunch with my dad the other day in downtown Portland. We tried out a Lebanese-Syrian place. Excellent, wonderful... I can't use enough descriptive terms. It was amazing! She's somewhat adventurous when it comes to food, so I suggested a "sampler plate" if you will. Turns out it was just enough for the two of us to share. A pleasant time, and a good time to catch up on a few details of Dad's recent trip to Europe.

See y'all soon... Cheers!
