I don’t have anything inspiring to say. If that’s what you’re looking for, PBW and Tambo have that. I savor my July 4th holidays. In recent years, the military has begun offering family days in conjunction with major holidays, and I revel in the four-day weekend that results. I’ve been … Continue reading →
Boring warning. Just writin’ about my life. I read the paper and showered in lukewarm water. OK. What is this thing with cold water showers? First at work and now at home? Am I not getting a message somewhere? I took a paintbrush back to the hobby store — when … Continue reading →
Nothing special. I got up and walked the dog. Hershey loves walks, so it doesn’t hurt to start your day making a small, affectionate mammal happy. I dragged in the newspaper from the driveway and adjusted the sprinkler to cover as much of the front yard in one sweep as … Continue reading →

At very odd intervals, I’ll doodle something that really strikes a chord with me, but I don’t have a lot of confidence that I have much artistic talent, yet there’s a family heritage of … Continue reading →
Justin, 27, was one of ten soldiers killed when the CH-47 Chinook helicopter he was riding in crashed in Kunar Province, east of Abad, Afghanistan, on May 5th. He was the older son of Pat O’Donohoe, whom I worked closely with in my last assignment. His father spoke of both … Continue reading →

I won’t mention her other suggestion, because it’s just revolting, but if you’re into that sort of thing, scroll down to the rest of her reply in comments to my whine.
