Chasing Waterfalls

Neal and I wanted to do something fun this weekend. Don’t get me wrong - I love having a house and a backyard, and I even enjoy most of the yardwork, but it’s still work, and sometimes it’s nice just to spend the day doing something that is for the sole purpose of entertaining […]

Neal was away for two weeks on “work-ups” (short version: Sea Training guys come on board, and they put the guys on ship through mock attacks, floods and fires), and they got in on Friday. I worked through every lunch last week except for Wednesday when I had a newsletter lunch meeting (which is […]

Anyway, I decided to take one more day. Since Monday, I’ve been subsisting on toast (sometimes with peanut butter) and chicken noodle soup - oh, and I had […]

I HATE ROCKS.
