I love Dire Straits – reference the title of the post. In case you don’t know exactly what I’m referring to, the song is below (I actually found a Killers version and mixed it into the original Dire Straits version – not professional work, but good enough for me):

It’s been about a month since we’ve moved to Italy. We’ve finally found a place to call “home” and have unpacked most of our belongings. That “haus” will be covered a little later once we get pictures up and the place looks a little more homely. Since being here, we’ve [...]
I can’t believe that Pam and I are leaving Savannah for good. Savannah left us this memorable sunset our final night there as we were packing the cars for the trip (and this was not enhanced or photoshopped in any way):
We’re now in Ohio for the next stepping stone [...]
It’s been a while since the last post… it’s one of those things where you can have a lot to write about, but you put it off so much that when it comes down to it, there’s really not much to say. Vacations, traveling, Grad School (bleh – but [...]
As soon as I got back from Iraq in February (before I broke my leg), I had planned a Memorial weekend vacation for Pam and me. A vacation where I rent an airplane and fly us there and back… to Key West… but that was before I broke my leg. [...]
I finally got checked out to fly a few different airframes solo (or with anyone else that doesn’t have an instructor rating) out of Savannah Airport about 3 weeks ago. It took about 10 hours of flying to re-hash both my VFR and IFR currencies (though I have yet to [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been in go-mode for the past two days in preparation for heading to O-H-IO. However, I still felt it imperative to post before I go. Ah, priorities.
It’s amazing how much stuff you need to get done before you close shop for 2+ months. Wonderfully, my sister flew [...]
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 [...]
Or “The Fatherland” with a bad German accent. Like many years back when my buddies and I managed to get onto an over-booked Space-A flight to go to Germany from Baltimore, the same happened to Pam and I on the first attempt. We were 15 people deep on a waiting [...]
