I'm remembering patriots who've made the ultimate sacrifice while visiting family in my hometown of Buffalo, NY today.

I'm at Liberty Airport in Newark, NJ awaiting a flight to Europe for work. The airport is quiet and I was actually just browsing the internet and looking at scenes and clips of various memorial services.
We can never express enough gratitude for those who have been injured or lost their lives defending our freedoms.

Sitting in the A/C in front of the computer on TRF holding my 1 month old son. Later, grilling burgers for the wife, her parents and my parents, and continuing to consume American beer on this fine Memorial day.

You lost me at 100 pull-ups. That is impressive, my man. Well done!

I bowled my regular Monday afternoon league.

Only bowled a 576.

Came home and made some chili, then messed around on my guitar.

Very quiet day for the most part.

Wearing a Tissot today.
