    "A Day Which Will Live in Infamy"

    And the only time anyone in Honolulu ever said "there's a Nip in the air."
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Not so ironically, this was also the anniversary of my first marriage.

    I took heavy damage from my first marriage, too. It pretty nearly sunk me.

    Whatever floats your boat, sailor.

    On December 7, 1941, I sh*t in my "pants" (very likely, as I was only two and a half). ;)

    But all seriousness aside, my earliest memories are of WWII going on.
    My Aunt Bette getting "V-mail" from her husband in in the Air Force.
    Mom using sugar rationing stamps, Dad hunched over the big Zenith table radio
    listening to "good news tonight" or "bad news tonight" from Gabriel Heater.
    My dad bought a three-and-a-half bedroom home in early 1945 for $5,000,
    and planted a "Victory Garden"--which we continued enjoying well after the war.
