23 February 2006

I suppose that I’ve indeed been AWOL this week, but not exactly missing in action. My plate has been, and still is, quite full. It started on Sunday with marking six years of blissful marriage to the lovely and talented and downright sexy Mrs. Hook. She’s put up with my mistress, the Army, for a long time and I find it difficult to adequately put into words how grateful I am for her support. Thank you honey, I love you.

With several projects coming due this week I found myeslf jumping from deadline to deadline, successfully meeting each one, so far. But if that weren’t enough, my folks are flying in tomorrow for a weeklong visit. Now, I love my folks and my merry band of swashbucklers will certainly enjoy their visiting grandparents, meanwhile, the deadlines will continue to come.

My apologies for the lack of postings, nothing personal. I’ll do my best to steal a few moments to blog over the next few days. In the meantime, reader Katy sends a great editorial you might want to read. Thank you for your patience. Sgt Hook out.

  1. I’m a little late on this…been busy myself - but Happy Anniversary to The Hook’s. I’d get all sappy and such, but just know it does my heart good to know there are couples out there like you two.

    Here’s to many many more!!!!

  2. We’ve missed you, but we all understand that you have a life. Hope you continue to meet the deadlines! I envy your parents getting to spend a week with the Swashbucklers. Three of my grandkids live in NJ & no visit ever seems quite long enough.

    Congrats on the anniversary!

  3. Happy belated Anniversary, Sgt. and Mrs. Hook! Wow. Ain’t love grand!?! According to those who make these things up btw, it’s supposed to be candy(sugar), or iron or woodcrafts for the 6th Anniversary; no mention of ‘deadlines’….;-)
    Have a good time with your folks, too.

In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious. The names or designations of any military units are ficticious. There are no living people nor existing military units presented in this book. -Ernest Hemingway

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
