Remember

I think I am one of the few working today, but only because Ontario does not recognize Remembrance Day as a stat holiday so the stock market is open. Do we really need to be here when my phone has rang twice? Plus, the banks are closed, so even if I do a trade there will be an extra day for the funds to settle.
I could be home with my children, who are off school. Or I could be at the war memorial service at the museum rather than taking my moment of silence in a half-empty downtown highrise at 11:11. Or I could be writing.
At least I'm not fighting. So I am thankful to be at work, in a free country that is not at war with anyone. Thanks to all those who made it so easy and enjoyable to be a Canadian.
Lest we forget....
