@jeffjarvis I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful remembrance. My father would have been almost exactly the same age, and also fought in both WWII and the Korean War, but died long ago.

@Komaniecki_R Some of Stephen Foster's songs are still being played 180 years after his death. I've played Hard Times several times this week. Out of living songwriters, Diane Warren and Jimmy Webb rank high.

@LuxAlptraum I had a box with paper maps for every city I traveled to back in my road warrior days. I'd also print out directions to and from the airport from Mapquest, once it existed.

@stiflersmomsays @JoeNewberry My dad always used pantyhose as a last step to give his shoes a Marine Corps shine.

@wewisqlexw This is terrible. It was such a good sign that the history of the bridge was finally being acknowledged.

@lmillernpr When you are in Boulder, you could run up the hill to the Carousel of Happiness in Nederland, https://t.co/MBDBk2CCm9 The animals (horses, bear, great blue heron, rabbit, llama and more) were all carved by a former co-worker and friend of mine.
