Wow. I thought I was having a bad week until I read about yours.

Putting it in perspective, it looks like I'm having a great week. But this will change when the wife finds the reciept for the new Surefire I bought.

Bosses, can live with 'em, can't kill 'em...

No-Doz dissolved in Mountain Dew. It's like exercize in a can.

Any day above ground is a good day. Cheer up everyone, you're still breathing.

Buried a fifty year old aunt and a twenty two year old nephew this week.

Nephew's dad says that any day you wake up and your kids are still breathing is a good day.

I think I've hugged my girls more this week than I ever have before in my life.

Lessons Learned:

1. (Aunt) Diabetics missing limbs from alcohol abuse shouldn't be allowed access to alcohol

2. (Nephew) Just because you wear a seat belt does not grant you immunity from car crashes, even if you are going the speed limit.

3. (Nephew) Anyone who has children should be required by law to have life insurance.

The nephew saddens me the most, he was just starting out with his young family (two boys, one three, and one two month old), a diesel mechanic, knew and hugged everyone around him (even the sketchy people), and was thinking seriously about following my footsteps into the Army. I even gave him the beret I wore at my retirement, which apparently he carried around everywhere...his other aunt and uncle are going through the wreck right now looking for it.

Moral: Live God. Love Family. Serve Community.

The only thing that matters is how you spend the dash between your birthday and the day you leave this world....

Billy,

I'm sorry for your lost. I can always switch jobs but your nephew...

My toilet tank apparently started leaking recently, and I just discovered it in the middle of last night, barefoot.

Something in the driver's door must have rotted through, as when I slammed the door, the window fell into the bottom of the door.

My neighbor just discovered she has breast cancer. A co-worker said her doctor thinks she has uterine cancer.

I'm kind of afraid to open my email the last two days.

But all of us are still walking around on top of the grass, which beats the alternative.

My condolences, Billy

I've been through some similar events and these kinds of wound never heal although the inflammation fades with time.

Tomorrow is a new day to concentrate on enjoying life and taking care of the children. Good Luck to all!
