I'm BACK

Actually my back is to blame. All the hectic schedule renders back rest, thus imposition of an early curfew to bed has been necessary.

What's been going on?? Well, work, home, work, home. Hezbollah getting their butts whipped by the fearless Israel. Iraq continues on their winning streak against terror. Landis, aka. ex protoge of Armstrong, is not Eddie Merck, that win in stage 17 is tooooooooooooooo errrrr.... suspicious. Even his own mommy disapproves her son's practice. (Huh!! what does that tell you.)

A few weekends ago I endured a new torture. The first ever sleepover in my house. The doggie enjoyed all the attention, the house was trashed, my ears hurt. What was I thinking? 5 girls screaming through the house, until this commander issued the Lights Out at 1AM. Never again.

** Cant think of a title for this entry. D'oh!

Who washed their car(s)to bring this rain? Now I have to mow, again. I am sure there is a group out there who are unhappy as well, their wheat harvest schedule has been delayed. The bottom line: if you see combines in wheat fields, DONT WASH your vehicles.

Let the bird droppings lay for another week, if droppings can survive a space launch, there is a good chance you will still be scrubbing your vehicle hood in a week.

*APPLAUSE for the shuttle crew. Hooo!! Hooo!!
NASA's IOU streak with me is slowly, rendering to payoff. A few more items to settle, the safe return of STS-121 and ALL future missions. Bring another teacher back into space, accidentally drop a wrench on OBL's head, bring out the X-30 from the moth balls, increase awareness on the importance of space missions, etc etc.

*Can somebody attach a stupid mouse to the cell phones!! Those little buttons are meant for ..er.. mice? I cant even order take out while driving! Sorry old lady.

*er ... that's it for now.

Btw, how's wheat looking this year?
Yeah I kinda miss it. Kinda.

Check this out!!

Some people saw me at my old hangout.
Yes I was back in grain for a few hours.
What can I say, they miss me.

While I was there, I took on the simple pleasure of web site editing.
Not my site, just my doing.
So here is the product: Cruising Berrys
The site is still in diapers, but there are hundreds of pictures to choose from.

Liftoff!!!



LIFT OFF LIFT OFF!!

SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY RETURNING TO THE SPACE STATION

PAVING THE WAY FOR FUTURE MISSIONS AND BEYOND!

HAPPY JULY 4TH MANKIND

On this day,

On this day ....
* NASA scrubbed a significant launch due to safety concerns. (What a bummer)
* we saw fireworks in the brilliant colours of Red, White & Blue.
* I thought of those to thank so I may stand there with my children watching the fireworks.
* I thanked in my heart those who defend Liberty, regardless of country.
* I again contemplated defending liberty, Semper Fi. (Kids still protest my decision.)
* I thought of 9/11.
* I thought of 7/7.
* I thought of President Bush's address on September 21, 2001 before a Joint Congress.
"We will never falter, forgive, forsake or forget."
* I thanked many and name a few:
Fredmeister, Paul Berkley, Deuce Four, LCdr Smash, Blackfive, Michael Yon,
POTUS, NASA,
*I thanked the recruiter who said I was too old to enlist. I continue my contribution, I pay taxes and shop more.
*I also included those who believed in me, the one who gave me the "last kick in the butt" & his brother,
*My inspirations, My children, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev (surprise? recall Perestroika?), Lech Walesa, Lee Kwan Yew, Noel Barber, Ava Gardner. My grandma.

There are some things in life that are priceless, the rest ..... er .... cash or credit?

On this day, go thank a soldier, or just email a milblog.
I know of one, Salute! Fred.
Okay, I know of 2. Hat tip, the youngest J. Brother.

ENGLAND! ENGLAND! ENGLAND!

England! England! Engla....Eng...NOOOOOOO!!!!


Painfully good match against Portugal (who has not lost a match).

Beckham bids farewell as cap. Who knew that a bow-legged akward boy from the slums will live the dream of every football freak.

Oh lay, Oh lay, Oh lay, Oh lay, Oh lay.

One more majician remains... ZIZOU! After he beat out Rinaldo. That was a good match too, talk about battle of the titans.

My girls are glad Word Cup is almost over, really.
