I bow to greatness…

Peter Boyle dead at 71…
One of my favorite actors in the world died yesterday… To me, Peter Boyle made it look easy. I rarely watch regular television but I admit to tuning in to EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND once in a while, just to watch his genius:
US Actor Peter Boyle Dies Aged 71
I really hate it when this happens.

In Honor of Veterans Day…
World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The actual fighting between the Allies and Germany however, ended seven months earlier with the armistice, which went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918.
Armistice Day, as November 11 became known, officially became a holiday in the United States in 1926, and a national holiday 12 years later. On June 1, 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans.
In 1968, new legislation changed the national commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. It soon became apparent however, that November 11 was a date of historic significance to many Americans therefore, in 1978 Congress returned the observance to its traditional date:
11 NOVEMBER…
Please take a few extra minutes out of your day to call, write, hug, talk, or email a Veteran today and THANK them for serving you and our country.
You’d be surprised at how much a little gesture like this will mean to a Veteran you know.
