Hopefully not “Dead or Alive,” but apparently there’s been a warrant issued for my arrest back Stateside!
Back in April while I was driving from Phoenix to Ohio (to ultimate drop the truck off for shipping to Italy), I was stopped at a random checkpoint in Nowhere, New Mexico… and I [...]

You guys get another Pams-titute for the next few months. Trav’s officially back in theater. Shoddy military transport extended his departure an entire day. It was an unexpected blessing (and much needed one too). Since all the necessities had already been completed prior to his original goodbye, Trav and [...]

For those that know me, perhaps this was bound to happen to me sooner or later.
So we were cooking shish-kabobs on the grill for dinner tonight…
I exchanged the propane cylinder a few days ago.  Since I exchanged it, the flame on the grill sucks.  If I turn on all four [...]

Trav gave me the go ahead to do a catch-up post since he just left for a 2½ week TDY ala army style and has been short on time recently. He’s been crazy busy with grad school the past couple of days. He was able to pull off [...]

It’s been two weeks since the surgery.  I finally got the cast replaced with a walking boot on my ankle (I guess “finally” is tempered with relativity – I know people typically have casts on for 6+ weeks).  I’ve re-learned that I hate crutches… if I’m just around the house [...]

Luckily, I have very little experience in the surgery room of hospitals… and after yesterday I hope to keep it that way.  I honestly don’t remember too much after getting the IV put into my arm… I remember rolling over so they could give me a shot in my ass, [...]

Well, it appears I did a little more damage to my ankle in last post’s antics than meets the eye.
I went in to the doc’s office today to get the damn thing casted up.  They re-X-Rayed everything and also had some machine that can do pseudo X-Rays in full motion [...]

The thought’s occurred to me lately that maybe I’m going through a midlife crisis. Of course, that’s arguable.  I think 31 is a little young to be claiming a midlife crisis, but then again if I live to be 62 then I’m spot on.  Regardless…
While I was in Iraq [...]

I think everyone can remember a time when they were a kid and questioned their parents on why they did things a certain way.  Some questions were easy, and you’d receive a direct response.  Others were more philosophical in nature, and you’d receive an almost-cryptic answer followed by “you’ll see [...]

This picture (taken at Tonica and Limey’s with their grandbaby this summer) is the only explanation I need to register for baby-parenting classes early…
