I know that things have been light on content here at chez Hoosier, lately. It's been a hectic time as The Day approaches, and life has been rather absorbing otherwise to boot. As much as I'd like to blog something of substance every day, it just isn't happening.

Today, however, my husband showed me this obituary from the Chicago Tribune. It was just too good not to bring to your attention:

Theodore Roosevelt Heller, 88, loving father of Charles (Joann) Heller; dear brother of the late Sonya (the late Jack) Steinberg. Ted was discharged from the U.S. Army during WWII due to service related injuries, and then forced his way back into the Illinois National Guard insisting no one tells him when to serve his country. Graveside services Tuesday 11 a.m. at Waldheim Jewish Cemetery (Ziditshover section), 1700 S. Harlem Ave., Chicago. In lieu of flowers, please send acerbic letters to Republicans.
