For heroic meritorious achievement of service.



After seventeen years of stellar performance, it breathed its last this morning. There're only so many four-second packets of Shredd and Ragan a little machine can be asked to take.

Just this last year I replaced the alarm clock that I received as a Christmas gift in 2nd grade. Let's see...that would have been the end of 1984...wow, about 20 years of service. I'm not sure if it is actually broken or if my mind, after 20 years, just said, "I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned that alarm sound is just part of the rhythm of nature."

Either way, it's still up in the attic.

Oh, there's no way I'm yet consigning it to the watery depths.
