Update On Steve 2-11-11

There's nothing AT ALL exciting to report, but I will.

It's boring.  

Don't believe me?   

Okay.   Here's what he's been doing, in his own words, as of this morning:

                                                     
                                       Herding Cats
                                       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8    
  
"Not only am I herding cats...
  


         



Dug, from "UP":
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrAIGLkSMls                                                         
...I am also chasing squirrels! 'Squirrel?  Squirrel?' "











In-between herding cats and chasing squirrels, he has been teaching courses to the troops; all the way from Privates to Full Bird Colonels.   (Here's a blank for your own musings on that one________________.)

And as of this morning, he just finished a 36 hour "day" out in below zero temps, doing hand's-on training/qualifying of troops in the field.   

On the ground.   

Literally.    

These are the days when I am most proud of him being an old fart, with young kids, and LEADING BY EXAMPLE.   

Of course once he finally gets back to his warm room on Post, he gets his "Ranger Candy", warms up, and it's off to Zzzzz Land.


Well, there you are!   All caught up.   You know what I know.  Fun, isn't it?


While I'm here I might as well REMIND everybody to

--PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE--

make sure that IF you are going to be at Steve's ceremony on March 4th---TO  

R S V P    ASAP!!   

YOU MUST DO THIS!   

Call the number listed if you need more info.

Alrighty then!   Finished yelling at you.

As we get closer to the Ceremony date, HOPEFULLY we will have more information to give out.

But just remember....just because I tell you one day that it's "this"....don't expect it to stay that way.

Welcome to my world where everyday is Earthquake Day and walking on that day's liquefaction is normal.  


Love and Laters,
Patti

PS... for those of you who have tried to leave a comment below but couldn't, I asked my best friend, who is a Head Librarian (take a bow, 'Lou') about this; she tried it & was able to "get in/on" through all of the choices with no "hoops".

Personally, I think it's the Magical Marian the Librarian touch, but I can get in/on always with the last choice, for some reason.  

Try again.  And if that fails...set up a Gmail account in order to send your comments. 
It's free, so make up a fresh nom de plume for the occasion!

  1. HEY EVERYONE, IT'S PATTI HERE...I'm trying to access this by using the ANONYMOUS option on the comment list. (Just sign your name at the end of your comment!)
    I guess if we all are reading this...it worked...&
    you can leave your comments that way.
    If not...then, as most times...I'm just whistling
    in cyberspace all alone. :)
