To all my sick friends who have been bitten by cold bugs this season.  First of all I hope you get better soon, as I know how miserable it is to be sick.  I can say with great satisfaction however in over 3yrs I have been sick only 3-4 times.  I have learned washing your hands regularly helps, and I take airborne when I feel the first sign of a ( Read more... )

It was about mid-day we were loading up some stuff in a moving van at my dad's house in Florida.  The kids were running around playing.  The rear door of the Tahoe was open.  My dad's house is on a culdasack in a neighborhood at the bottom of a very long steep hill.  Not many of those in Florida.  I happen to glance up to the west, toward the hill ( Read more... )

Today has been a day.  An nasty e-mail from a co-worker calling me an idiot sent to my boss.  Then he calls and tries to make good because he needs something.  Then the lazy S-4 shows up to inspect everything and dings me on a bunch of stuff, taking pictures of the unmowed lawn, even though it is being mowed.  Complaining that my office is a mess ( Read more... )

Taking boring computer classes on line.  It has been a long hot day, lots to do.

I am busy as ever, but I had my pressure release, aka melt down.  Pressures to the job.  Got my military computer back, which will make life a whole lot easier.  I spend a lot of time responding to e-mails across the battalion.  Got to stay connected.  Did a lot of paper work today on my personal laptop.  Getting ready for an equipment inspection ( Read more... )

Staying at our favorite camp ground in North Georgia near Chattanooga.  Just enjoying the cool mountain air typing on my computer with my wireless card.  The Family is sleeping still so it is nice and quiet.  The camp ground is slowly waking up.  The bugs are rasping their steady din.  The birds begin to chirp.  My coffee is brewing.  I love the ( Read more... )
