Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |

Ha!
Somebody had to do it...
ROFLOL!!!
I can not believe this weekend.
It has been like a Bizzaro weekend.
You know, the boys are always gonna remember this weekend with Steve and just how much fun they had! That's terrific!
Here's some more pictures. Here we are at the restaurant...OT so dignified...me so goofy.
Here's Becky in my kitchen...
Charge of the Light Brigade?...
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.

LOL!! You could tell Steve was having a great time, but I wonder about Matthew...he's really really conservative and cautious. Not real adventurous, believe it or not. Like Bilbo, not looking for adventures.
So I imagine it's been a real interesting time for him.
I'm as free as a bird now...
Heh heh!!!
I'm amazed.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Millet...

Good night!
WooHoo! Becky brought the cholesterol medicine!
Naw, she was just posing with it!

Well played g'nad.
Well, there isn't one in Miami, but there are three in OK City and one in Tulsa....

I handed out the last new 5710 HH knife i had this week. Lt. Architect Dewd (USNR) is a guy I work with occasionally. He is a Sea Bee. I learned he went to play in the big sandbox for a while, and has recently returned.
