Yes, less than a month before the little girl arrives. Are you in the Baby Pool? Well, get there! Over 800 BlogMad credits…

Tomorrow is Friday; I’ll try to get a reminder up for you to Wear Red and Support our Troops. I’ll be stylin’ in my new “Lighting Sharp” red polo.

Let me jump in here with a traffic tip: If the BIG FLASHING ARROWS are indicating a closed lane ahead, slow down and change lanes to the lane that continues. Avoid the urge to run right up to the BIG FLASHING ARROWS to force your way in at the last possible second. If you do it again, I will beat you to a pulp while asking why you are so much more important than the rest of us waiting patiently to get through the construction…

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!

Go here.

Order a shirt (or two, or five) and Wear Red on Fridays – Support Your Troops! Check out the new polos – Sugarcat is modeling one at the top of the page, and it sure looks good. I’m ordering one for each of us, and then I’m going to send Sue our picture.

I probably won’t be able to post over the weekend – got some projects to finish up and others to get started before a certain young lady shows up.

I feel such a sense of peace since leaving the cabinet industry – my stress level has gone way, way down. That has the side effect of mellowing out my view on life, also – which means there aren’t so many obvious observations to make. However – I am sure you will be hearing from me again on certain, unuversal subjects (hint: drivers in Phoenix).

Through my brief job search period, I knew and kept telling everyone here and elsewhere that God has everything under control. I still know that, and I want you to understand that. It’s not something proven empirically, it is a step of faith in every way shape and form. Want to know more? Drop me a line.

I appreciate all you readers, every single one, even if you haven’t joined the Great Big Wonderful Baby Pool. If you have, I appreciate you even more.

God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!

Ooh-Rah. Semper Fi. Happy Birthday to all my Devil Dogs out there in Blogland.

Truly, the joy of a man and his dog.

Unlike certain Senators from Massachusets, I don’t think the “American Fighting Man” is uneducated. Think about what it takes to become an officer – and if you think they are uneducated, then you’ve got the wrong picture. The typical member of the fighting forces today have more than a high school education; fewer and fewer are dropouts – even the ones that did not complete high school usually earn their GED before the end of their first enlistment. The average officer not only has a Bachelor’s Degree in their field of expertise, they have also gone to their branch’s version of Officer Candidate School (OCS) – which means at least twelve and possibly more months of intense instruction without the beloved breaks that college gives you. Plus, each and every member of the enlisted ranks are exhorted to enroll in and complete as many additional courses as possible. Not becasue they are a requirement, but because the more subjects you are exposed to, the better your ability to adapt to situations. The more knowledge you have, the more ideas you can bring to bear on a situation.

Unless you are stuck in Massachuesets, and being forced to serve the people as a Senator – then you can only see things one way – and that usually includes the thought stagnation behind “Bush is Wrong” and “Cut and Run” – certainly not the type of leadership anyone I associate with would want representing them.

I tell you, the folk back east are strange. Must be in the air.

God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!
