10:38 and I'm back in the room. That, in and of itself, is a sad commetary of my current state in life. Saw lots of old friends. What has always amazed me, is that we cannot see each other for five years and pick up, just like we had never

No post probably till Sunday. Heading to Charleston for my reunion at a REAL military college. Remembering a time when men were men-and women were outside the barracks waiting for their men in sundresses. As it should be. Play nice!

Phibian posted this. When I saw it-I just had to send it far and wide. This is so true of my Navy, and a lot of other places in DOD. Are they listening? Nope. Sign No. 1: Conspicuously posted vision or value statements are filled with vague but important-sounding words

Drove back to DC this afternoon after spending the morning at Wallops Island. If you ever stay in Pokomoke Maryland-bring a good book. There's not much to do. All I did was drink beer last night and watch the Phillies lose. On the way back today, since I was passing

On the road again, deep in the heart of Virginia. Raining like all get out this evening. Accordingly, abandoned plans for a night out. For the second time in two years a Japanese destroyer has proved the old axiom : Nothing can wreck your day like a collision at sea.
