I can’t take it anymore. I’ve exhausted almost every common-sense option in the book thus far, and I continue to find myself chasing my tail in circles at the ineptness of government civilian and military employees. No wonder these people don’t work for the private sector; a handful of [...]
It’s been one of those months where, with school and a myriad of other deadlines to meet, I have probably about 3 different things I can throw up here and write about, but I just get caught up in execution with seemingly little time to reflect.
You ever go tubing where [...]
As far as milestones go, your first apple doesn’t really rank up at the top of the list. However, these pictures were just too cute not to post. We went apple picking yesterday and Brenden decided that he absolutely loves apples. The entire time he had one glued to his mouth; doing a [...]
It’s been 6 years since I decided to “take the plunge” and ask Pam to marry me. Leading up to my proposal, she had already somehow narrowed down the big question to the 4th of July weekend; to throw her off, I took her camping and proposed while “roughing it” [...]
The economy is down. Many businesses, like Circuit City, are closing their doors for good. I guess jobless rates are peaking around 10% or so across the country.

I’m in Olney, Texas visiting my in-laws for the next few days. They are absolutely loving having both their grandsons here (more of that to come in a later post).
When we were here last summer, we were able to have a Hound reunion for all those stationed at Sheppard AFB an [...]
Since Y2K I’ve been going to Lisa and John’s for New Years Eve although back then it was just known as Lisa’s (these are the pre-JTI and Trav days). They have an open door policy and their house has kind of become the meeting place for friends and family over the years. [...]
Usually by this time, the presents are spilling out from under the tree. Right now there are only a couple. The lack of gifts is not due to the economic crisis, but to family crises. It’s not even Christmas and my family has heard enough bad news in the [...]
This past weekend, I was able to meet Trav’s sister Chey and her husband John for a road-trip to Illinois to visit the boy’s great-grandmother. It worked out very well that we were both in the Ohio area so we could carpool together. What was so special about the trip is that [...]
We’ve had more company flow through Savannah in the past couple of weeks than we’ve had in the past year. It’s been nice: both Pam’s and my parents have been out to lend a helping hand with Brenden, and we’ve had friends swing through to throw back a beer and [...]
