When I was working in St. Louis in the late 90's, a friend and I flew to Hartford, rented a car and drove to Vermont & Maine to see some fall colors. On the drive back to Hartford we stopped at the Basketball Hall of Fame where I purchased this sweatshirt that I still wear today. I never though about how old this shirt is. Wow, it's lasted very well.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-83565601109743165662011-11-11T09:30:07.044-05:002011-11-11T09:30:07.044-05:00... a time to pause and reflect.... a time to pause and reflect.Birdmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634185585147630883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-88749260691090535632011-11-11T09:22:44.065-05:002011-11-11T09:22:44.065-05:00That is one sneaky flag.

I recall Armistice Day as a young person as a day when we sold and wore red poppies with a significant pause at 11 am in the classroom when we stood and paused to remember all the soldiers. Doesn't happen anymore; haven't seen a red poppy in decades.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558559381295017448.post-3261366569521123102011-11-11T06:27:19.790-05:002011-11-11T06:27:19.790-05:00Today is Armistice Day in France, I think it's...Today is Armistice Day in France, I think it's the second time it is celebrated without any survivors of WWI, which is sort of strange.
