Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
I'll read your post in the morning. I'm off to bed!
We got home just in time for Abigail's midnight meal. elf-boy is sacked out on the couch. They are doing great. Austin had a very big day today. Tomorrow is the party... should be an even bigger day tomorrow.
bittygirl had her 2 month well baby check today. 24in. tall, 12 lbs. 12 oz. heavy. She is in the 80th percentile for weight, and the 95th percentile for height. She got 4 shots today :-(
She did really well at the game tonight (I'm thinking that Toronto didn't show up since the score was 11-2 Rangers.) When we left, at 10pm, it was still 91 degrees. 'Twas a hot day today. I was worried about how she wouldtake the heat what with her having shots and all. Not an issue at all! She slept through most of the game.
night! sleep well!
evenin' Bear!
Guess I'm all alone tonight.

RICK, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT ALL HERE WHO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATIONS THOUGHTS AND EFFORTS APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO FOR US. IT IS HARD ENOUGH BEING AWAY FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS BUT TO HAVE A TOTAL STRANGER REACH OUT AND TOUCH US MEANS SO MUCH. THANKS FOR ALL FROM ALL!
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL REQUESTS FROM THE GUYS HERE FOR SCRUB BRUSHES. NOT FOR FLOORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT TO CLEANS PERSONAL GEAR AND EQUIPMENT. HAND BRUSHES OR POT BRUSHES WOULD BE MOST WELCOME. WE HAVE RECEIVED POPCORN OIL WITH COCONUT OIL MIXED IN. I THINK THAT WILL DO FOR US SO YOU CAN CONCENTRATE ON OTHER ENDEAVORS.
THE ATTITUDES HERE ARE VERY POSITIVE. THE GUYS AND GALS OF THE ARMED SERVICES ARE AWESOME. I AM AMAZED EACH DAY AT THE PROFESSIONALISM AND CAN DO SPIRIT THAT IS DISPLAYED ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALL AMERICANS SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR FAVORITE SONS AND DAUGHTERS AS THEY SHOW THAT WE AS A PEOPLE CARE ABOUT OTHERS AND ARE WELLING TO PUT OUR LIVES AND POCKETBOOKS IN JEOPARDY TO PROVE IT. GOD BLESS THEM ALL.
SAY HELLO TO KIMBERLY FOR ME AND GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
AGAIN, THANK YOU FROM ALL AT CAMP L. JERRY YONKO
I think an American, not throughly immersed in English culture, humor etc. might find the book bizarre, even a bit daft, on first reading.
A side note: I should not write small treatises on literature, culture, humor, opinion, or Adams with such a high level of blood in my coffee stream :D
Morning! Promises to be a lovely weekend. Got another heap of veggies out of the garden last nite. Will try to post pics one of these days. We'll try to catch a movie today- either Arthur or I, Robot. But that'll be after my mid-month errands which includes a stop at Walmart. I just added scrub brushes to the list. I'll get a variety- including some tooth brushes.
Oh, and I also have a source for good (non-popcornified) coconut oil, if need be. We use a bit of it in our cooking.
*On review:
somebody is going to suggest an exorcism. I know it, I just know it...
As always, so nice to hear!
What about manicure brushes? It sounds just like what he's talking about...you know, hand brushes?
This site sells them for 20 cents a piece...

1. A B-movie Tarzan actor keeps a collection of exotic beasties in cages.
2. His tiger gets out and roams the neighborhood.
3. While preparing to tranq-dart the critter, a local constable finds it necessary to use three or four* 9mm** FMJ*** bullets instead.
4. And the only person in all of this who is in any legal trouble is a woman who offered her eatin' pig**** as an attractant while the tiger was still at large.
Gotta wonder sometimes.
*So I heard.
**Purely conjecture. For sundry reasons, possibly astrological in origin, seems to be a popular caliber.
***More conjecture. I think most constabularies frown on the use of hollow-point or other expanding ammunition.
****As opposed to a pig kept (again for sundry reasons, possibly astrological in origin) as a pet.
Good morning!
I'm leaving in a very few minutes for a gig. This is the one where we started out with six or so people, and are now down to three. That's the downside, and I'm worried a bit about pulling it off.
On the upside...it means we each get a greater share of the pay...can't complain about that.
Thanks, as always, for posting that letter, winmag!
I'm havin' my coffee since I didn't have any afore I went to Lowes at 7:30. Got the ceiling paint I forgot the other day, the switch and outlet (and circuit tester).
Looked at plants and decided I have enough (although I need about 2-3 more ornamental grasses).
Ready to paint as soon as I get enough of the caffeine...I figger about Tuesday or so...
Was up late watchin' Desperado with Antonio Banderas. Wife's friend saw it recently and wanted wife to see it as they're getting together for lunch on Monday. Friend said "The Lord spoke to me thru that movie."
Best I could figger the Lord was sayin' "You shouldn't watch this movie." Pretty much Banderas shoots everybody in sight, sleeps with Salma Hayek and drives off into the sunset...now you don't need to see it.
LOL! - I was up really late, and I am not committed to staying up, but I still woke up early to feed horses.
"The Lord spoke to me thru that movie."
What did he say to your friend?
I was awake at that time, but I was off arguing! shoulda pinged me!
