We call it Remembrance Day. (Colloquially known as Poppy Day sometimes.)

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Here in the US, it is Veterans Day.
And here, Armistice Day. I didn't realise they were on the same day. That's kind of cool.

OMG, they've got a baby camel drinking from a bottle on Good Morning America. And now a baby tiger.
I hope Aimee's watching. Or that it's online later.
That baby camel was fuckin' cute.

Our whole family is home today. We had a bikeride planned but it's a bit chilly out so now we are all watching Ice Age 3 and eating pretzels.

Hey GC, how are you feeling? You and DW looked absolutely radiant in the shower pics.
Thanks, Laura! I'm doing pretty well. Uncomfortable, which I know is normal for 8 months PG, but nothing crazy.
No day off, but I am working from home. I also get to see Shanie today! Woot!
