...I realize this might get kind of old, coming from me -- and that a lot of you aren't from a universe like mine. I might have ruffled some feathers last time I made an entry like this, and I apologize. But this is important, and it might be in your universes, too.

Anyway, today is Armistice Day. I think it's called Veterans' Day, now, and it's a day to thank and honor people who've served in wars. So -- well, thanks, to anyone on this boat who's done that. Your service -- and sometimes, your sacrifice -- is definitely appreciated.

[Narvin was one of those who was irrationally angry about Memorial Day. War is a touchy subject for him sometimes. But he's less irrational about it today.]


What rituals does this holiday entail?

[thestarspangledman]

Oh -- rememberance, generally. Back when I was a kid there used to be parades, I think.

[timesbureaucrat]

I don't foresee a parade working very well on the Barge.

[thestarspangledman]

Yeah, me neither. I guess the only thing to do is remember.

[He doesn't say anything in reply, but Time Lords are very good at remembering when they aren't intentionally partitioning the memories anyway.

But in this instance, Narvin still prefers the latter. He keeps the bare, emotionless facts, but everything else gets shunted aside.]
