  1. Good Morning - 0430?????????? That time isn’t even on my clock since I’m a night owl…. and what did you think of United 93?

    LOL! .. “pudding tane” - haven’t heard that in years.

  2. Where are you being transferred? Great answers. It’s funny how men don’t seem to notice the important things, like the color of carpets and wall colors. :)

  3. Maine?? Co-o-old winters! Come to Washington, instead. We have 5-6 Cold Stone creameries near me ;-)

    Interesting list. If you don’t already have a pirate themed tattoo, then consider something along those lines, like This. And here’s one that would be cute in a temporary tat for the little swashbucklers.

  4. I also second the request from MissBirdLegs, as I am very interested in your feelings about the movie…

  5. You know Tennessee is a great retiring ground… if you can stand our southern accents. :)

    I’m neither a diamond or a pearl girl… really not a jewelry girl… I’m low maintenance… does that make me weird or every mans fantasy girl? LOL! :)

    As for the tattoo… how about… “M.O.M.” That’s always a good one… :)

  7. Very funny responses — as for the tattoo question — how about a phoenix rising out of the ashes… kind of like symbolizing you surviving that helicopter crash… just a thought is all.

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.
