Paul, Shakey and I were at a cookout on Saturday up in Massachusetts with a bunch of good guys from almost all of our recent wars.

At one point it occurred to me that, out of all the guys there, Shakey and I were two of only a few who had NOT been shot. Almost everybody was carrying extra metal and/or the marks. If that's not unusual in today's "polite" society, I dunno what is...

Great bunch, lovely day.
