On this, my final Memorial Day on Active Duty, I take a moment to reflect. I walked to the Court House in my new adopted town this morning to attend the joint Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion post memorial service at the war memorial. I’m sure most of … Continue reading →
That ought to get the search results fluttering. I don’t believe we need to worry about Natasha adjusting to the move any longer. I watched her bottle up the chokepoint in the bedroom this morning and terrorize Ajax when all he wanted to do was leave the room. She has … Continue reading →
That’s what it seems like, anyway. This house has a half acre yard. My electric lawn mower is supposed to handle a third acre on a single charge. The grass was tall when we arrived, but not as bad as last time when I beat it back, mostly with a … Continue reading →
The move is technically complete. Everything came off the truck on Monday looking just like it did when it when it was loaded on Friday.

Now that Hershey isn’t patrolling the backyard, at least two neighborhood cats have resumed using it for rest and relaxation. On a less happy note (for me, anyway), I woke up yesterday with congestion in my right sinus cavity, and by this morning, it had moved to my upper respiratory … Continue reading →
I pulled the boxes out of the attic today. They’re sitting next to the item that belongs in them patiently waiting for me to decide when to place the item inside and ensure it’s safely packed for the move. I vacuumed the back of the truck and returned the bed … Continue reading →
