Yay! Word count met... now shall I exceed? I've already exercised, showered, and put off homework...
Actually, I think there must have been one of those today on Central Expressway (US75) and another on Greenville (SH5), within a mile of each other. Lotsa abmulances and careflight helicopters. Greenville (3 lanes and a turn lane) was shut down.... and that is my ALTERNATE ROUTE. Central was a 4 lane parking lot. *sigh* Without the Nazgul, we ~would~ have made it to Taekwondo on time. As it was, we drove by with 10 minutes of classtime left. We just went on home at that point.
On the flip side, we saw Spiderman 2 today and the dollar theater. It's half price Tuesday.... Yes, 50 cent day!
LOL, elf-boy came out of the theater doing "spidey" cartwheels, and crawling around on all fours.
You're evil for having mentioned that game.
I played it some at work today, and I'm well and truly hooked.
I knew I was beyond help when I found myself looking for patterns on a tile floor today...
Done!
One episode. It's worth staying up a little late.
"Stalker Hobbits" fits nicely in the keywords.
PE and I watched it. WOW! I am amazed at the intuitiveness and courage it took these guys to pull it off. I feel horrile that it ended so badly for most of them.
Good call!
I'm going to tidy up a little, then maybe get to 500 over, and relax.
Didja stay up and watch the Dambusters afterward?
You are wise, Grasshopper.
Not sure, but that might be a tad intense for one of Matthew's age. At least, if they spend any time on the details of it.
A friend of my parents was in the Death March; carried a buddy for two days, even after he was sure the buddy was dead cause he knew that if he put his friend down the Japanese soldiers would bayonet him. He didn't want there to be any question that his friend was dead first. Sil had nightmares to the end of his life about that. Yeah, pretty intense.
nite folks.
Sil has my respect...God bless him...
I first read about the Death March when I was 7... really made me appreciate the sacrifices of those who had served before... we have no idea...
OK... anybody still around?
Dangit... got trapped into a waterin' hole convo about America/capitalism/Iraq/Bush... yeesh... [whew] Seems that there are some around here that are unconvinced about things being generally right with the world. :-)
Next thing you'll be demanding I leave mints on the pillows! Sheesh!!
I remember him from before the deaths of his daughters as a smiling, fun loving man, and I'm glad I have that memory.
We leave today for the port, then catch a plane very late tommorrow (Thursday), or possibly in the wee hours of Friday morning. If all goes as planned I should be there mid to late afternoon Friday. However we all know how military planning goes. I think we are now flying into McChord again also. I have your # and I will call you soon as I know anything certain. Crystal will be mailing you that package we talked about today also, so it should be there Friday or Saturday. Thanks again. Talk to you soon.
Post it again, it's not showing up.
Off to bed. Have Crystal keep me updated. Love Always, Dad
James Gandolfini is exciting enough, but Pauly Walnuts ...! I might swoon! The hair! The track suit! That wild look in his eyes! Ha-cha-cha! Ha-cha-cha!
