I attended two remembrance services today to mark 100 years since the World War I Armistice. The first was held in the cathedral where I sang last month. From 11:00am until 12:30pm, 35,000 paper poppies (roughly the number of Irish deaths in WW1) fell from the hole in the center of the ceiling. I helped to cut a few of them, as did many other volunteers and local schools. By the end, the floor was covered - it was pretty moving. This evening there was a second service, which was followed by a procession from the church to War Memorial for wreath laying. The procession included 100 people carrying candles. Somehow, I got to be at the front, bearing one of the Allied flags (no prizes for guessing which one was left for me!)

Thanks Supreme Superior Commander. 40 minutes and counting until I hear those reindeer up on the roof.

Take two Dukes episodes and call us in the morning. We're here for you if you need us. It might be tough to get chicken noodle soup through the computer but emotional support soup fits through. *pouring now*
