I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm

   Two people fully clothed and wearing their outside attire, standing in front of probably the only source of heat in the house, and not looking at all hot ... ah, life pre-central heating.  I realize this is supposed to be a romantic scene, but I'm shaking a bit looking at the two lovers.  Yeah, I know, their love will keep them warm.  Still, brrrr.

It's More Than Just Labor Day

 Today marks the 79th anniversary of V-J Day, the day Imperial Japan surrendered, bringing an end to WWII.  In the photo below Lt. Commander Montgomery is shown backstage at the "V-J Day Command Performance" on Armed Forces Radio talking to Claudette Colbert.  

 

Bob looks incredibly tired.  Four years of wartime military service will do that to one.  I just want to hug him and thank him for his service.
