Lest We Forget (As Usual)

"Hello?"
"Hi, Waldy. You're at our place, right, making lunch with Food Not Bombs?"
"Yeah."
"Could you do something for me -- I forgot about doing it before we left for Meeting."
"Sure."
"Could you go to the corner by the bedroom door and get the flag and hang it out?"
"Okay."
"Great. The Stars and Stripes, not the peace-symbol flag. It's Armistice Day*."
"Okay."**

I made it through Meeting without any abnormal reactions, so I guess that makes it a good week.

* It just now occurred to me that by calling just before Meeting, I caused the flag to be hung out at 11:00 exactly. How traditional.

** Waldy is a man of few words.

//The Magic Eight-Ball says, "Remember."
