I had a bonus Soldiers Home moment at home today, miles and days away from Bingo. Not too long ago, careful readers might recall, Eileen from Activities had joked with me about renaming Home Bingo “Volunteer Extraordinaire Bingo.” At least, I figured it was a joke.
But then today, one of those particularly challenging days, I finally plopped on the couch and opened my new Soldiers Home calendar, which Eileen mails to me every month. I started circling my responsibilities and/or opportunities—and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, June 22 made me laugh out loud. And I really, really needed to laugh out loud.
Right there, in black and white, June 22's Home Bingo has been renamed.
I circled it. I guess I’d better show up.
