    I suppose this sounds very self-aggrandizing and egotistical, but I really like a lot of the stuff I write and have written. I have been going back to the roots of why I started this blog in the first place, as a place to practice writing, as a way to…

    Well, actually, one shot in the arm was breakfast. The new Son-In-Law, an active-duty U.S. Army Infantryman (11B), was up when I got up and made me some eggs-in-the-hole. I am usually the first one up but I think he was awake either before me or at the same time.…
