it is becoming clear that I am not so used to sitting around the house doing nothing. Left on my own today I worked out a couple of time for lack of something to do, cleaned up the house, and cooked a 4 pound brisket with roasted red potatoes in an au jus gravy and some vegetables..asparagus, corn, and carrots.

That looooooooks soooooo yummy!!!!
Last day of active duty completed yesterday! Got home after a bone-chilling ride down from Austin. Turns out 40 degrees, drizzle, and 20mph winds do not make for a fun ride. Remedyed the chill with three bean and bacon soup with fresh chopped onion and cilantro. Then some coffee. Then a nap on my new bed...after I checked it for mouse traps and shockey traps...

May I humbly suggest a trip to visit the lovely city of Portland, Oregon? We've got beer, strippers and good times.

Maybe the firmer memory foam is the way to go.
I did a bunch of nothing over Thanksgiving, and after working my ass off for far too long, it was all kinds of awesome. Hope yours is just as awesome.

Been a while; time to update.
Over jittery/ worn out from having the bright idea to go for a run at 9pm.
last week of active duty for this deployment and then back on regular Reserve status. They're making full use of us here at the end. Working from 4am until 4pm on Saturday at a half marathon/ toy drive for Toys for Tots.

The foam mattress can take a couple of nights of getting acclimated but it's true that you'll wake up with your back not being all sore and stiff. My back problem evaporated when I switched over. I need a new computer too, after 5 years the MacBook isn't cutting it anymore. You should splurge on a vacation some place with beautiful women to bring you tasty beverages. Or you can borrow my dream vacation and go to the underground caves in Vietnam that have whole forests in them.

So how to you like the memory foam? Apparently you either love it or hate it. I dated a guy who had it . . . and it turned out I hated it. And he hated my mattress b/c it wasn't memory foam. 
Sex on memory foam is kind of weird, too.
Sex on memory foam is kind of weird, too.Things have been going pretty well. Still on active duty. One month left and there's three short work weeks of the four because of Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving. Ready to get off active duty; just not sure exactly what is next. have a lot to do to get back into school. I've been dragging my feet a little. Time to get really working on it....

Ha! I have walked out of her office thinking dirty thoughts to turn around and catch her looking at my bum!

Glad to hear Alex and Clementine were able to meet up, though. You, Lagomorphic matchmaker you!
Once again, you have quite the way with words. What's funny is, at one point in time, my name on a dating website was lagomorphic. I figured it was appropriate, since I have rabbits plus I'm rather small and vegetarian. It's also not a word you see every day, which I liked. So I'm more of a lagomorphic matchmaker than you know!

Sounds like you've been having a great time back in the States. 
That Quelf game looks awesome. I'm always looking for new group activities for this mentoring program I'm involved in, and I think I'm going to get Quelf for it. I saw on Amazon you can just buy a set of cards, which might work better for bigger groups. I'm glad you posted that!

In a way it takes the pressure off because I know they'll have lots to connect and talk about so it will be nice to have them all together. I'm sure we'll hear interesting stories about each other. It's amazing how much support we're getting from the families. Shit, I need to make a toast...

Then back to Texas with some time off and then doing I don't know what until my active time is up. For the time being I'm mostly hanging...

A wild weekend spent driving up to LA with some other Sergeants to watch the University of Texas play UCLA at the Rose Bowl. The plan was to head back to base after the game. Yeeeeeeeaaaah...that didnt happen. Ended up in Old Town Pasadena until 2am and somehow managed to make it into a hotel room on the 12th floor of the Wilshire downtown. UT...
