Hero Day

It was a Hero kind of day...

First, it's Veterans Day, where we remember and thank all the veterans for everything they've done and continue to do for us. It is probably one of the few holidays where everyone agrees it's a good thing.

Naturally, as it's a national holiday, I was off work. I worked out this morning then went to the movies. The theater was giving free tickets to veterans to go see the war movie "Fury." While I felt this was nice of them, they could have given them free tickets to anything they wanted to see. I would think some of them might not want to see such things again.

I went to see "Big Hero 6," which I loved. Besides being a great superhero movie, it had some great moments of sadness and humor, which gave it a wonderful level of depth. I am contemplating making it the movie for the Cincinnati MovieBears outing this weekend. I'd definitely see it again.

Afterward, I went to the local park and got a bit more exercise. I didn't run the path as usual, but just walked it (I'll run it tomorrow, weather-pending). I used the time to think about plotlines for my next "Grizzly & The Bear Patrol" comic issue and came up with a great idea for the next two actually. I love it when ideas come like that, it energizes me to get things started. I'll start writing tomorrow.

Tonight, as I was watching the latest episode of "The Flash," I got out my sketchpad and drew a cartoon I've been rolling around in my head for a bit. As the temperatures are dipping, I'm longing for warm weather again and I think seeing Grizzly on the beach would have me swooning.



Happy Veterans Day!

I think it varies. I know some private companies may be shut down for a week. Other may offer folks an option for the day after or the day before a holiday along with the holiday. When the President gives us that extra day with a holiday, it only applies to government employees.
