At every turn, today, I've either ricocheted off of one wall or been thwarted by another. Being a generally graceful type, the juxtaposition has been instructive.

Ever try to stay upright without holding on to something on a metro? Today is a world shift day, so maybe it's something like that.

Happy solstice!

My posts of late all tend towards melancholy. I should take a moment to note how life has changed. I live in Colorado now, and Japan is a memory. Michigan is no longer home base, and my Mum and Padre live in Colorado too. Since returning to the states, I've met some good friends and found a good balance of work and social life. I have like minded ( Read more... )

So. Here we are again. I spent the day with the folks here in Colorado. All in all, I'd say things are pretty good, and I'd guess they would call me well adjusted ( Read more... )

There is quite a bit out there for me to be thankful for, but I find that it's simply not interesting enough to ( Read more... )

I just traveled to the top of a very, very, tall mountain, and took a someone's present up there with me.

It's been a while, so I should post. Been flying a lot of locals these last few week. Staying out of trouble for the most part. I have a ton of errand running built up, and there is always something to do at work. I pinned on another stripe last week, now it's Senior Airman MB. Bought a car from a Major, but other than that no news. there is, of ( Read more... )
