Spent the day yesterday at Chuck E Cheese at my 5 year old's birthday - what sentient adult wouldn't want to spend their last free Saturday for several months with Mr. Cheese!!?
Actually it was cathartic in a way: the parents who came were - like so many others in the recent past - full of "atta boys" and other words of support. I really do think times have changed since the days when my dad went to Viet Nam. Our mission is a lot different these days as well - I have many Navy friends and colleagues currently healing the injured down in Haiti aboard the USS Comfort. I will also be treating local Afghani men, women, and children once I arrive at my destination. (Around the ides of March - I am the hare.)
