It's June 10, International Heraldry Day!

Today is June 10, and once again, it is International Heraldry Day!

Once again, it is International Heraldry Day, and this drawing remains one of my favorite depictions of my arms (along with that of my late wife Jo's), done by the late UN diplomat and heraldic artist Sunil Saigal.

Jo's arms are blazoned "Argent semy of sexfoils purpure." Why, you ask? Because, she said, she always wanted to have sex on her shield. Bah-dum-dum, cymbal crash. She had a weird sense of humor. It was just one of the things that helped us to get along so very well.
