greatbearWho knew that "Kramer" is spelled with three "K"s?
Robert Altman, most famously known as the director of M*A*S*H and many other great (and some not-so-great) films, has died. M*A*S*H, and especially the resulting television series was a ever present influence as I was growing up. He'll be missed.
So, there's talk bubbling up of reinstating the draft. Not that I have anything to worry about, after all I am too old and too gay. Even though the chances of it passing are basically preposterous, it should create some thoughtful dialog on the possibility sending the sons and daughters of the general populace into harm's way and not relying on volunteers. More importantly, it should keep people from thinking that starting a war is a given.
Tomorrow evening I will head up to PA for Thanksgiving, aka Happy T. Not sure how happy it will be for me, I know it will be rough at least sometime, it's that which I am not looking forward to. One thing is definite, I am thankful for Jeff and his family for putting up with me through the years.
