In the last few months I’ve been reading and paying attention to a couple of milbloggers. They are reporting on the state of all things military including current events in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of them is Bouhammer. I have a great deal of respect for him and his call to service. I am writing [...]

You Capture – Friends
So I was a great big slacker this week. I only took one picture that could constitute as “friends”.

What I Learned This Week
So this last week I’ve been trying to think of what I have learned. (I think it’s really been 2 or 3 since I last participated in Jo-Lynne’s carnival).
I can talk to my kids without my exasperated tone and make more progress than expected.
I love having Traveler home so he can participate in the [...]
