. . . still, I'm thankful to be reminded of the tremendous service our men and woman in the military provide.

Thank you w over w. It's good to be reminded. Makes a person humble and proud.

In my everyday world I seek the prudent and effective action. This endless practicality, this severe self restraint, is not at all how I feel inside. Inside I boil with passion. Outside I am severe and self restrained.

To make the self restraint possible I find that extravagant metaphor, vivid imaginings, and obviously foolish actions proposed as if they might be practical, when shared with friends (my wife has FOR SURE been on the receiving end of my tirades!) allow me to act more prudently.

Not to say I am not mad as hell about the thirty Marines killed in Fallujah. Or about the Stark. Expressing my feelings at the Foxhole, even feelings that are bloody minded (bloody mindedness is a horrible trap, destroys your judgement), allows me to separate those feelings from my "rational" self. Who knows, perhaps I will see something that may contribute to the real revenge, Victory.

Are always welcome here dear friend. ;-)

On a personal note, I don't care to think so rational, I want them all dead, MOAB or however, just be done with it.

Now, Happy Thanksgiving!

And Furthermore!!!

Take care, Valin. Appreciate your concern. Haven't flown off the handle yet. I will do anything to avoid being a murderous thug.

Had my three girls home for Thanksgiving today, along with two friends from school who are far from home. Had a little champagne, and a lot of food. Good times. Hope your times today were as good.
