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. [...]
I’ve been gone the past week for an Air Force TDY to Hurlburt Field in Florida. Since I’m sitting at T-8 days until I go back to my overseas vacation home for a few months, I decided to load Pam and the kid up into the car and whisk them [...]
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 [...]
Really the catch phrase is “Hounds of Heaven,” the old Squadron I was in (which I’ve been known to say “Dogs of Heaven” once or twice in a drunken stupor). But as anyone from Texas (God bless it!) knows, nothing comes closer to perfection than Texas. *cough* Anyway, so to [...]
This weekend one of my buddies from college, Johnny Ballgame, was in the area (if you want to call a 5-hour drive “in the area”) and decided to swing out and visit. It was a blast seeing him. Johnny Ballgame appropriately earned his name because he passionately follows every sport there is… [...]
Ah, that time of the year where you have an engorging dinner and endless leftovers to keep you company while you watch college football for 3 days straight. I’ll miss it. Pam and I are going on a 4-day cruise to the Bahamas over Thanksgiving to belatedly celebrate our 4-year [...]
This really should’ve been posted about 2 weeks ago, but right after finishing the trip, I rolled right into an exercise with the Army that sapped about 18 hrs per day for two weeks straight (yes, that included the weekends too). So it’s better late than never I guess…
About a [...]
For some reason, events impacting (mostly) me have been broadcasting in stereo lately. And yes, both Pam and I are safe and sound back home now. The double-event deal probably had its foundings a while back ago, but I’ll try to get it in chronological order starting near-present.
I guess it kinda starts [...]
And that we did at times, and that we didn’t. For this entire vacation, it’s pretty much been a “shoot from the hip” philosophy.
Luckily, it worked on getting out here. We made it out (more or less) first shot once we got to BWI for the flight. Once in Germany [...]
