Hey Crew,
Just sticking my head in the door to say "Boo"! I'm a single mom this week as DH is off on Reserve duty at the AF Academy. He just called to chat and said he had to run to go iron uniforms. Wonder if he remembers how! Wonder if he remembered his bottle of starch.

He's got a Dining-in (formal unit only dinner and shannigans) on Wednesday with the cadets and has to squeeze into his mess dress. He'll certainly impress them with his posture - if he takes too big of a breath he'll pop a button! (True!! He popped on our last cruise.)

When he told me he had a dining-in and I busted a gut laughing his rather disgruntled response was "I expected more support from my spouse." I supported him by suggesting he add an inch of chain to that button he busted on the cruise.
DS10 got a new hair cut. We decided the best way to fight his massive cowlick was to just shave it all off. We were talking flat top, but he decided on a crew cut when he got to the barber. Here are before and after pictures. What a difference!
Oops. No before and after pictures. DH took the camera. Guess he wanted proof of button status after the dining-in. Well, when the camera returns I'll upload the before and after pcitures.
DS10's class is getting ready for their big field trip this year - 3 days and 2 nights at Malakoff Diggings - one of the largest hydralic mines from the California Gold Rush. We (I'm chaperoning) have to dress in period clothing, and participate in period activies - tin smithing, wood working, blacksmithing, candle dipping, etc. I'm in charge of the scavanger hunt (OK, not everything is period.) It's Monday-Wednesday of next week. I'm looking forward to it.
Say, anyone want to cover the Pirate Joke of the Day while I'm gone. I've been doing such a lousy job recently anyway all y'all should just fire me.
Well I've got to run. It's bed time already and I stil don't have lunches made for tomorrow.
TTFN!
