  • Armistice Day



    In Flanders Fields, The poppies blow
    Between the crosses, Row on Row;
    That mark our place, and in the sky
    The Lark still bravely singing, flies
    Scarce heard amidst the guns below.

    We are the Dead, short days ago;
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.
    Lived and were loved and now we lie:

    In Flanders' Fields.

    Take up Our Quarrel with the Foe;
    To you with failing hands we throw
    The Torch; be yours to hold it high,
    Lest ye break faith with we who die.
    We shall not rest, though poppies grow;

    In Flanders Fields.

      We're having a small blizzard here, so intead of going to an outdoor service (big gun salute at the Manitoba Leg) like I normally do, I'm going to a large ecumenical indoor ceremony at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. And as Ben knows, in Canada we call it Remembrance Day.
      There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

        We don't call it Armistice Day in the States either.

        ACK!
        Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

            No, not really. He "teaches" at a "private" "religious" "school" part-time.

                      ah, not a real teacher
                      I teach for a small Catholic school here - we do the same curriculum as everyone else, with some 'extras' since it's Catholic. I don't have a full teaching load just yet. I teach Grade 8 history.

                      The position required a history degree.

                      Anyways, can we take this elsewhere and keep discussion of my job in another thread, please?

                        Viagra could have solved that problem.

                            Too bad nobody else thought of that joke, like about an hour ago...

                              You're just jealous that I have a real flag and real flag pole outside my residence.

                              I'm going to get one at my home when I retire. It means something more to me now.
