4TH OF JULY 2009!


0450 in the morning and we're glowing! We're running a 5k sponsored by YMCA. Some of the Soldiers decided to run in their body armor. I'm sure they'll wish they hadn't when they are 40! This run wasn't my personal best for a 5k but I knocked it out in 24:06.

Another holiday gone by that didn’t feel like a holiday.

I love watching fireworks so it was disappointing to miss that tradition during the 4th. When I was a kid, my dad would make a great big bag of popcorn and pour it into a paper, grocery store bag. On the way to the viewing location, we would stop at the A&W Root Beer drive-in for some root beer. My first memory of watching fireworks was in Two Harbors near the football field and eating great popcorn and drinking frosty root beer.

I can’t remember the last time I have had either of these tasty treats since I left. It will certainly be on the to do list when I get home.
