Yeah…just a little moody, today. One week from now, my loved one, thanks to GWB, will be in Kuwait, on his way to his third tour in Iraq. The only thing helping me keep it together is my regular morning cuppa and keeping tabs on my RSS reader.

Thank The Flying Spaghetti Monster It’s Friday!

I’ve been laying low over the past few days taking some time for myself, which is something I rarely do. I didn’t want to end the long Veteran’s Day weekend however, with out taking a moment to thank all the Veterans who have served our nation.
I just finished watching the video below of Keith [...]
