Greetings,
Sorry for the prolonged absence as I've only had time to do a bit of "hit-and-run" posting lately :).

An update on my daughter. She is about halfway through basic now and not only doing well, but excelling! It never occurred to me but the 4 years she spent in marching band have been a real assset. Her TI's have been taking her aside and commending Holly on her performance and attitude.

She tells me that even though they only get 5 minutes to eat the food is excellent. But that didn't stop 2 of the kids from buying candy when they got some time to go to town for necessities. Bad news for the 2 candy smugglers, they were sent back to the beginning. Not smart.

As a wee bit of luck would have it, I recently finished some programming for Northwest Airlines. As part of my compensation they gave me 2 vouchers for round-trip airfare. So my son and I will be travelling to Texas in mid-October for the graduation free of charge!

So I am happy to report all is better than well.
