<p>brenner was in the veterans day parade with the boys &amp; girls club of redmond. and yes, i was "that" mom running down the sidewalk with both the chamber's camera and my blackberry snapping pictures and calling his name. i'm sure he was happy to see me and a little embarrassed at the same time.</p>
<p>happy veterans day!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>{11.9.09}</title><id>http://dailymel.squarespace.com/journal/2009/11/9/11909.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://dailymel.squarespace.com/journal/2009/11/9/11909.html"/><author><name>mel</name></author><published>2009-11-10T01:13:29Z</published><updated>2009-11-10T01:13:29Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://dailymel.squarespace.com/storage/110909_title.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1257815970785" alt="" /></span></span></p>
