The neatest thing I read today: vacationing in Manhattan, LCDR (Select) and Mrs. Smash had dinner with Peggy Noonan. Excerpt:
I thought that I was having dinner with someone famous. What a treat! But it turns out that I was telling the stories and answering the questions. She even brought her teenage son. Why? Because he wanted to meet me. Because he is, in her words, “a fan.”I have fans? Why? I’m just an ordinary guy!
But that’s really it, isn’t it? I’m an ordinary guy, who was sent to a war zone. My war was, relatively speaking, boring and uneventful. But I wrote about it, people read it, and now I’m some sort of anonymous celebrity.
I'm very envious. Congratulations to LCDR Smash!
