Worst Putter
No, I haven’t killed anyone today. I do, however, have the distinction of being my directorate’s worst putter. We had an afternoon of cooking out (burgers and dogs) and indoor putt putt golf today, and I racked up the highest score. (If I could only somehow reverse my golf and … Continue reading →
Eh.
Playing with the Northern Coders Theme–straight out of the box, it seems to work well. Not sure what’s up with me, but several people commented that I looked more ticked off than usual today (I have a tendency to look as if I’m about to kill someone–I’m not, but nobody … Continue reading →
Alabama
I have an assignment notification, my section commander has signed it, and next week, I’ll have the official assignment briefing where I either accept or decline the assignment. For the record, I see no reason not to accept this assignment. I’ve known about it unofficially for a month. Things can … Continue reading →

I’ll get this thing down to a short story yet. I keep reminding myself I’m to use this book as a learning tool. There’s so many things wrong, I hardly know where to start. This is going to be a long, ugly process, while I not only find out what … Continue reading →
Killing Him Softly
I’m finally getting back to Twilight. I was mulling over killing someone this week, and I finally decided to do it. My antagonist main character had an alter-ego. The more I thought about it, the more I realized he wasn’t essential to the book. I spent a few days letting … Continue reading →
NBC
I used the term “Chemical Warfare Training” yesterday, but the more correct term would have been “NBC Training.” NBC stands for “Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical.” Some of the fascinating things we learned were the four types of nuclear detonation and what to expect from each type, the types of biological … Continue reading →
