Beginnings, Endings, and somethings in between

It has been awhile since I last blogged and I guess it is time to add some more of my ideas to this outstanding blog. I have read with great feelings the stories of mom's and dad's sending off their son;s and daughters to the academy and what they feel like in their hearts. This is one of the reasons I like this site so much in that many of the stories are truly "heartfelt" and from the heart. They are moving, emotional, and are a "piece" of the individual writing it. This...

A RENT IN THE FABRIC OF LIFE!!

Posted 11-06-2009 at 04:41 PM by pojack (INSIGHTS, OUTSIGHTS, NOSIGHTS....who cares!!)
I am so full of sadness and shock, that I have to write this and perhaps somehow, through the words, I can maybe find relief.

Yesterday, I heard unfolding, a terrible tragic story involving our armed forces in "battle" on our own soil with one of their own! What a terrible tragedy this was for those families who have lost loved ones and also those "friends" of those who have lost loved ones. One thinks when one is home, they are safe, but after this last revelation,...

Well, the marches done, parades over and have seen all my son's classes. We ate wonderful fajitas at the CS-33 BBQ Friday and they were sure tasty! Not a bad feast for $3.00. We attended a nice "Meet and Greet" picnic type at Pinic shelter #2 at the FamCamp, where we happened to be staying also. Not too bad of a walk there. Met some very nice folks and they met us and we were finally able to place faces with names. It always amazes me how different people really look when you finally...

DA VACATION!

Posted 08-24-2009 at 02:29 PM by pojack (INSIGHTS, OUTSIGHTS, NOSIGHTS....who cares!!)
The only time better than Christmas for me is, VACATION!!! We plan all year to get away for a few weeks, away from the day to day drudgery and aggravation of the daily tasks, to be free of encumberances, to worry about nothing, no telephone, fresh air ....ahhhhhh! We decided this year, to try to get away early, about 6AM because we didn;t have to roust the kids out of bed as in previous years, they were gone away to USAFA and college! WOW!, we were free and without problems, right? WRONG! We...

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!

Posted 06-28-2009 at 10:10 AM by pojack (INSIGHTS, OUTSIGHTS, NOSIGHTS....who cares!!)
The term "history repeats itself", is a good one for sure, because it does. Jeremy and Jonathan are both home now but the memory of BCT last year, still echoes here at home. All of the new parents are suffering from the same anxieties that we did back then and it is interesting that the same feelings are permeating the folks posting here at the site. We were not able to take Jeremy to In processing day and his B&B family, who ultimately became his sponsors, took him there. We have...
