Things only said once.

I like that tag, but I've only used it once (until now). I didn't create that tag to use it only once. I thought it had potential. Or I wouldn't have created it. Oh, the blog paths that seem open and then are never walked down!

I had a good friend who had an entire pepperoni on his forehead from a pizza we ate. Still laugh about. He had no clue.

Congrats."

True story, too. Union general in the Civil War. (I forget who, or which battle.)

Nichevo,
I believe that was "Uncle" John Sedgwick, at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. A reasonably good general in a war that had plenty of poor ones.
