happy birthday



Our nation turned 232 years old today. I was lucky enough to spend the day in DC dipping my feet (and maybe killing a few ducks) into the fountains of the WWII Memorial. As I watched the starbursts over the Washington Monument, I couldn't shake my civilian guilt: I am part of the 99% of the population that is comfortable, unaffected and unaware of the impact of a 5-year war. Thank you, IN THEIR BOOTS, for the much needed and long overdue rude awakening.



ah, i see the ducks survived my stinky feet:


and I am happy about that!


yay!
