happy veterans day

Today I remember and honor my dad and his service in the Coast Guard during WWII. 

Today is the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, which marks the anniversary of the end of World War I, which was formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. 

I also remember that today was my parents' wedding anniversary. 

Here are some screen captures of them from an old 8mm film that was taken during their honeymoon in Nassau.

favorite movie #95 - election edition: the candidate

Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #95 - The Candidate (1972) - Robert Redford plays idealistic Bill McKay, who is pulled into a race by Peter Boyle  — as he gets deeper and deeper into the campaign he finds his ideals compromised and the end goal more confusing.
