My hope and intention as I begin this blog is to give a thoughtful, considered response to world events, deep discussions and personal circumstances. I hope it will be encouraging, challenging, informative and edifying to those that read it. I by no means intend to be a self-proclaimed expert, but I do want to share my thoughts in the global marketplace of ideas.

Legends
Grrrrr!!!! I just missed the opportunity to meet "Wild Bill" Garnier and Edward "Babe" Heffron at Barnes and Noble today. In case you do not recognize the names, they were two members of the Easy Company, 101st Airborne in WWII as featured in the HBO documentary, Band of Brothers. When I got a call with a heads-up that they were going to be there, I was on my way to get my car serviced as my check engine light had mysteriously come on this morning. By the time I got out and got to B&N, they were gone. So disappointing. They do have a new book out Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends and there is a column of signed copies at the store.

If that ever happens again, give me a call - so far, my check-engine light isn't on. Of course, that may have been a once-in-a-life-time ... so some things might be different if ever your light comes on again. Sorry to "hear" it. Sorry I missed out too - didn't even know.

I KNOW! I was so bummed to hear I missed them too. Thanks for mentioning their new book though. Did you hear that Joe W. at least got to see them? Lucky guy!
