Don't Celebrate, A Lesson Learned
A quick “celebration” story which taught me to NOT “celebrate.”
During Army Basic Training waaaaay back in 1988 our unit was being taught how to move from cover to cover in the woods and how to use that skill to take a bunker at the top of a hill. My partner in this go/no-go and I were tight friends from day one of Basic and were both pretty ( Read more... ) -

Recent giggle:
James trying to justify with a sound argument why it would be ok for me to allow him to have a full can of Coke three minutes before bed time. He’s such a riot when he’s rockin’ the logic for a goofy argument. Just proves that one can lay down the logic for any “side” of any topic. LOL

Monday, Monday
Yesterday after getting back from deep sea fishing all day (they left the house at 5:25am and got back at 2:30pm) he showered and jumped into his baseball uniform to go work out with the Ballhogs. His coach mostly worked him at short, which he’s not played regularly in over 3 years.

All we took with us was some very very basic tackle, some chairs & blankets, and two poles. We had a blast ( Read more... )
