Celebrating Freedom!

Sadly, I was not able to make it to the wonderful get together with all these terrific people. I did have to work as I was covering for some peeps in the office who were on vacation... But that doesn't mean I didn't do anything at all.

No I celebrated my freedom and headed out to buy books! Not only buy books, but meet up with the author and get my book signed. Barbara has a terrific post about all the fun and games. (Olive Garden in Springfield MA will never be the same)

I'm pretty sure that the same people who want to make me wear a burkha would have a very strong negative opinion of my reading material. I give thanks for every one of our soldiers who have made it possible for me to wear what I want, drive my own car, and read excellent stories without some idiot looking over my shoulder and telling me not to or they'll kill me.

We live in a great country.

1 T, you been reading those dirty books again?! Good Christmas, woman! You know the jihadists get their knickers in a twist over that sorta stuff, sexually repressed fuzzbots that they are. Thank goodness we have strong peeps like your son to whoop their heinies into submission when they get outta hand.

2 ROFLMAO... yes, this is true. However, I love Carla's books because they are great reads. *grin*

I'm also reading Stephen Bainbridge's book on Sarbane's-Oxley... but there aren't many people interested in that. And I haven't yet started John Scalzi's Ghost Brigades... also I haven't been fortunate enough to meet either of them. *sigh* But I still think those jihadists would have a fit over the Bainbridge book too... just because. Not to mention Scalzi, because he's inventive. LOL.

3 Teresa you said it so well not much to add with the exception of some hearty thank yous and prayers for those who serve and the families like yours who are serving with them. God Bless you all, those who have gone before you, and those yet to come.
