I know, I’ve been pretty scarce. Sorry. I was in quite a funk the 1-2 weeks following Christmas. Then I spent last week in Nebraska doing some Air Force Reserve work. Nothing in particular with the funk, I just didn’t feel like writing. I also have been pretty slow with the camera too, I’ve very … Read more
Enjoy some pictures I took of the spectacular fall colors at Great Smoky Mountains National Park last week. I was in the area training for my AF Reserve job. These are too pretty not to share with the world! You’ll notice that I’m in my winter coat (it was in the low 50s) for some … Read more
Today I got home from my two-week AF Reserve tour. Having to get on a plane and fly to my two-week tour is actually a first for me…unless you count the year I deployed, which I’m not. I’d have had to fly to that one no matter where Dave was stationed 🙂 A tad chilly … Read more
Dave Navarro, me, Perry Farrell, Steve Perkins, & Chris Chaney. I’ve seen other friends do it — they post pictures on Facebook of celebrities they’ve seen at airports, or on their flights, or at a store. The pictures are taken from afar, zoomed in, etc. I have a couple of Michael Franti from this past … Read more
I got home from Air Force Reserve duty Nebraska last Wednesday night. It was my birthday, and the boys picked me up at the airport and we went out for Korean food at our new favorite Korean restaurant, called Okie Dokie in Fort Walton Beach. It was a good week in Nebraska but it was … Read more
No, it isn’t working for me either. I’ll keep the title as is, okay? Greetings from Nebraska. I’ve been on Reserve duty for the past week. I hadn’t been here since May, so it was nice to see my colleagues and meet several new faces in my office. Many of you know this already, but … Read more
Folks find it strange that I travel to and from my Reserve duty in uniform. In this week’s case, I didn’t have an official appointment as soon as I landed; I didn’t have to report to duty as soon as I landed either. Nonetheless, I have found it beneficial in so many ways. 1.) Air … Read more
This is what happens when I rent from Avis for the first time in over 10 years! Greetings from yet another soon-to-be-fun-filled week of Reserve duty 🙂 Today has to have been the best flying experience I’ve had in a very long time. Perhaps since the trip TO Disneyworld in late 2009. 0.) I fly … Read more
*Yes, this is one of the much-less-creative blog post titles. I have an awesome watch. I’ve had this watch since my college graduation in 1995. It was a gift from my parents…16 years ago this week. Yep, that’s a now-extinct Nittany Lion statue in the middle of the dial. Best. Graduation. Gift. Ever! Being that it’s … Read more
*Wait a second, wasn’t that a major fast-food corporation jingle? While I was in Nebraska, I did make some time to visit with my Pokeno girlfriends, have a nice dinner out with Shannon (who took me in at her house when the Offutt Inn was booked for the week), and enjoy a trip to Trader … Read more
