Last Veteran's Day, I went to Rutland, Mass., to see my Uncle Dwight's name added to the town's veterans memorial.
The memorial includes the name of my grandfather, Donald Marsh, who served in World War II. He survived but died at 30 in 1953 in the F-5 tornado that swept through the area.

My son was sick today, which gave us time to sit and do something we've been meaning to do: watch KPop Demon Hunters, which neither of us had seen.
This is a fun movie with some nice visuals and catchy music, although it isn't really my kind of catchy music.
I can see why the kids like this.

Another pardoned January 6 attacker arrested and charged with other, new felonies (in this case, kidnapping and sexual assault).
And don’t miss the part where he got caught firing off a gun on Jan. 6. You may recall the argument that it couldn’t have been an insurrection because it wasn’t armed.
