Man there is nothing like living in the dirt for two weeks to make you appreciate a nice cold shower. Or lying on carpet. Or being worken up by an alarm clock instead of Small Arms Fire (simulated or real).
I love and loath Field Problems. An excuse to run on two hours of sleep a night and one meal a day for two weeks....

Thanks for the newswire submission. I've gotten a bunch of articles on the subject, but as I've told everyone, since it still remains firmly within the realm of speculation I'm not going to publish anything until there's a little more evidence one way or the other.

Thank you for the comment on my set the other day! 
I love it how a plan comes together some times.
About two months ago my job site got a 60-day notice that they'd be closing it down. Needless to say I wasn't thrilled. Tech during a time of mass layoffs can be hell. And while things are picking up over all it would still be nasty locally.
Then I get a call to interview for...

So I just finished David Hackworth's book, "About Face".
Very good stuff. Even though the last 200 pages or so were a really hard read since they deal with the time that he lost his 'love' for the Army.
Now some people hate the military. Others are ok with it but only as long as it doesn't effect them. Some like it enough to serve...

I liked your comments to Isadore (& the rest of us) about the duality of America as the world's watch dog. Of course, my opinion doesn't really matter because I'm Canadian, and one living in the US no less. 
I've always ackowledged that the position America occupies on the global stage is probably the toughest. You're the international hero, the dreamers, the doers, the money makers... and the flip side is just as broad in terms. Tough stuff.

And When the Fuck are we going to get the No-Holds-Barred fight between Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Kerry?
Ok, failing that I want to see one of the Bush Twins and Kerry's Step-daughter going at it doing some mud wrestling.
Who's with me?

It is amazing how good sleeping in feels.
Life seems so complex sometimes. But it is the simple things that make us happy. Sometimes we forget that. Always we should be reminded of it.
Do something that makes you content today. Not happy, content.

Why do we let ourselves get dragged down by the little things?

Because were trying hard not to get to the big thing, or at lest thats me.
It's funny how therapeutic re-arranging your apartment can be.
Of course since this is only the second weekend I've been here in the two and a half months I've lived here it really means that I'm finally getting a chance to unpack.
Of course this being my seventh (permanent, plus a couple temporary) address in as many years means that I should be used to...

Finally back. Of the last 5 weeks, I've been gone 4. It is good to be home sometimes.

So what the hell do you do, are you in the army or something?
I'm off to CA for the rest of April.
Now go outside and enjoy spring.

No my bad memories are still my memories.
Damn I really want to see that movie but I'm waiting for a girl to come back home and watch it with me.

So I find out that while I'm "In the hopper" that, barring unforseen events, I have some time to catch my breath.
So which is worse: The change you don't see coming, or the one you see coming from far away?

And another Alert passes. One of these days I think something will come of one. Sadly, I think it will be sooner rather than later. After all, you never hear the one that gets you.
