I was at Boston College on Saturday listening to the syposium “Soldiers & Citizens: Military and Civic Cutlure in America". There were three panel discussions about the military and its relationship to society at large. The talk was quite fascinating. Best of all, I met Rachel Maddow and had my picture taken with her. She moderated the third panel.

I also chatted with Paul Rieckhoff, the executive director and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), who is often on Rachel's show. I purchased his book 'Chasing Ghosts'. All in all, Saturday was awesome.

Today (Sunday) was more mundane. I raked leaves, visited the local bookstore, took a walk and went out to dinner with Mom & Dad.
