David Nicolai was at the park watching an adult soccer game around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when the moose meandered onto the field. The referee ended the game, he said.

Is that the moose that is always biting everyones' sisters?

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.I just love that picture with the ice cream cones! It does my heart good to know our heroes can get something as simple as ice cream.

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....Plentiful sunshine. High 88F. Winds light and variable.

~ Tonight....Generally clear. Low 66F. Winds light and variable.

Whew boy! I did not want to get out of bed so early this morning. I tried to think of excuses to stay in bed a while longer but the fact that the later I left for work the worse the traffic would be motivated me to get up on time. LOL

Yoo hoo, young man, over here. I'd like to thank you personally for your service.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

And, for the rest of you………..

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

((LOL))Well, it's going OK. Chuck felt a little weak yesterday. His BP was clocked in at 98/47. Those pills seem to be working real well.

He has a doctor's appointment next week. I think he may be asking the doctor about those readings.

[Arrowhead1952]

I have drill, so I’ll be here most of the weekend.
