The only explanation is that someone knows how exhausted I am and they want me to get a decent nights sleep before spending 28 hours driving home.
I guess I should explain. Last night I went to bed early knowing that I had my evaluation and that I needed to be well rested. [...]

Since the beginning of the year we’ve seen a few changes in the world. The people of Egypt decided they weren’t happy with the status quo and “removed” their president. In Libya, some of the people are getting the crap bombed out of them for wanting a new leader. I did say some because [...]

Unlike the 100 million or so other people, I didn’t watch the super bowl yesterday. I guess it all boils down to me being a sore loser. At the beginning of the season nobody predicted that my team would finish with a winning record. We were predicted to place third in our division and [...]

Not all of us are morning people. Morning people are those who wake up and all is right with the world. The rest of us need a catalyst to make our day move along smoothly. Jessica is a huge fan of coffee while I need a hot shower to get me going. It doesn’t [...]

O wants everything done immediately and doesn’t understand that we cannot do everything at once. He screams mission at [...]

A battle over who to blame for rising health-care costs is escalating, as groups seek to pin the problem on each other and say none of the health-care legislation under consideration does enough to solve it.U.S. spending on health care reached $2.5 trillion in 2009, according to federal estimates. It is expected to jump [...]

A few days ago I left on another trip and to be the “fixer.” We did what we had to and I put some stuff on a pallet. We thought that we were going to get out today but it wasn’t meant to be. I’m stuck here for yet another day but at least [...]

We all have routines that guide us through our day. My routine at home is far different from the one that I have when I deploy. My routine on the weekend is far different than what I have on weekdays. One constant always remains regardless of the situation – I attempt to adhere to [...]
