Frank Woodruff Buckles, Last WWII Veteran

I've read about Mr. Buckles before, but now the depth of his sacrifice, honor, courage, and more are just hitting me.

Yes, the national WWI Memorial is in need of repair and respect. Let's all change that.

Fun With Autism or Catchy New Phrases!

Know how your kids said funny things when they were little? Like my nephew's famous line, spoken while holding a rock to his ear and apparently speaking to it: "It's my rocky-talkie"?

Autism is a communications disorder. My kids continue to come up with language use that makes more sense or is just plain funny.

I offer up this sampling:

"Boys have, you know--down there--acorns."

"My sleepy. My go bed now."

"What you me want get?"

"You fine okay that?"

"That rare to see."

"When you me want pack?"

"You me up pick it?"

"A CT scan is like being stuffed in a roll of toilet paper."

"Boy, I'm glad I'm not in that room any more," said FTD to me at midnight. "Why not? Don't you like the new look of it?" said I. "Naw," said he, "I just puked all over carpet."
