You and me NVG. Made the shindig at the retired Colonel's spread in Anniston in January, but it seems like years ago that I was amongst my 76th family. Now that we can't make D*C this year I am really feeling the separation pangs.

Can't say as I blame you Sister. Hopefully all is well and you get a clean bill of dental health.

Prepping to get the kids off to college. Daughter moves out this coming Sunday. Both she and my son start classes on Monday. Going to be quiet around the house without them around, but I am looking forward to some down time alone with the wife. Be fun to "date" again, not have to worry overly much about the kids, and plan things for just the two of us.

Big Suck indeed Sister. *sigh*

Drizzling, annoying rain, dark and dreary here today.

Got my daughter moved into her dorm yesterday so we are now child free at home. Quiet, but a good kind of quiet. I look at it not as losing a daughter, but as having regained my upstairs bathroom.

Getting a bit of that shiny, hot orb in the sky thing today. Rain this evening. *sigh*

At least the Big Suck is behind us and it's Hump Day Eve.

Next week is D*C for those that are attending. Sadly, I am not one of them. Be depressing not being with my family in Hotlanta next week. Sure will be missin' them something terrible.

Projected path of the storm show it hitting New Orleans than heading up through Arkansas, Missouri, then into Illinois. You should see a bit of rain from the edges of the storm.

Course hurricanes being what they are, and being fickle of nature, who's to say what Issac will really do.

I know that Pvt Griffin is in Louisiana so I hope he is keeping his head down. Same goes for all the browncoats and their families in the areas the storm will touch.

Hump Day indeed! And more than half over! Now to survive the rest of the week. *sigh*

Yep, Akin is in ATL with the LtC and his Mrs. I do believe that Sgt Jay and his lovely wife have arrived as well. I bet the Bunker is a lively place indeed. Wish I were there.

Well, technically a fair number of them met last night. Seems a couple of Purplebellies showed up with warrants for the LtC, Doc, and me, but didn't meet with the success that they might have hoped for in bounding anyone by law. Hear lots of Tall Card was played. Not sure who got stuck doin' dishes or taking out the trash, but I hear fun was had by all.

LtC in his adled advanced age apparently left his cell phone at home and as such all calls to him have to be routed through his wife type.

Hope they are all having a great time.

Akin posted a couple of pics up on his Flikr account.

I don't know Sister, mine doesn't feel so terribly long. Course I am ready for the weekend.

So D*C has come and gone again. Already making plans for next year. Marriott Marquis and Hyatt Regency rooms go online first of October. D*C memberships are currently on their site for $65 through Sept 14th then the price will go up. Got to get mine purchased this week.

I hope so Sister.

Had a good weekend. Hot on Saturday, but plowed through 4 hours of yard work and outdoor projects.

Sunday was very mild. Only got up to 78, low humidity. Got a long ride in, than went downtown with the little lady for a long stroll and window shopping and brunch at our favorite French cafe. Came home than took another long walk in the park to make the most of the gorgeous weather.

Promises to be a beautiful week. Temp in the high 70s and breezy first half of the week. I could hope for an early spring, but knowing Virginia weather we will get a couple of weeks of Indian Summer prior to true fall weather.

Hump Day!

Weather is still mild during the day, if a bit cool in the morning. Have to wear a hoodie and vest to ride the bike in since the mornings are averaging mid 50s here this week. Not that I'm complaining.

Hope everyone is having a good week.
