There's a restaurant chain here in the States called Applebee's; for Veterans Day, they offered substantial price reductions on meals for current and former members of our armed forces. So I ate lunch at Applebee's, which was my big excursion of the day. Online, besides writing fiction, I chatted with a woman I would marry if I could, and she told me about celebrating the day with her grandfather who is a U.S. Army veteran.
When I say "would marry if I could," I don't mean Hannah's mother--because, although Hannah's mother _would_ make an excellent wife, _she_ is not interested. The other woman is at least one with whom I have managed a close friendship.
