    Ah, almost crossed paths.

    Our summer vacation was a choice between a week long Pismo Beach camping trip with some cousins around June 25th or some other run on our own. We decided to head to S. Lake Tahoe for a week in mid June.

    Have fun, be safe and drink 24 (a case) for me.

        God Bless all of you who have served, are serving and those whose lives were so tragically cut short. BTW if any of you haven't seen the Movie, "Taking Chance" I highly recommend it. It is a true story of Dedication and honor. I was truly moved.

          I realize that this post might be construed as political, so feel free to move it if you think necessary. It just cracked me up so this seemed like the logical place...

          Anyway, yesterday was my son's last day of 3rd grade. In addition to making the honor roll & receiving a citizenship award (woot), he got an A+ on a presentation about nuclear weapons that he had to make in front of the class. I don't know what else he talked about during his presentation or why on earth it earned him an A+, but the paper that he brought home consisted of a variety of pictures of mushroom clouds and the following text:

          "Don't use nuclear weapons if you don't want to be part of this blown-up place. Nuclear weapons are causing more devistation (sic). Get rid of nuclear weapons! We can't stand anymore loud explosions! Obama...! You still haven't banned nuclear weapons! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to move to a place where I will not have to here (sic) explosions and will not be destroyed by nuclear weapons. There goes $1,000,000 down the drain! For the love of God would you please stop using nuclear weapons! I MEAN IT!!!!!!"

            That's awesome.

            You should email that to the WH.

            Who knows........maybe your kid gets a WH invite.

            Btw, when did your kid start school and how did his school year end so early? My kids 1st grade school year doesn't end until June 15th.

                  "I was there mainly to honor of the 58,000+ names on the moving wall who were not as fortunate as myself to have survived, 4 of whom I knew. Had to wait in line for an hour, but well worth the trip."
                  ---------------------------Just found out yesterday the Moving Wall will be at the park 1 mile up the road from my house in early July. Will definitely be attending.

                      You definately will enjoy it DanO. There will be a tent set up where they will look up names for you . They can also look up who's on the wall by state or home city.

                      Bring a handkerchief, when they play taps, it breaks down even the strongest.

                        I will be coming out to look up a name of a schoolmate, something that I have not been able to do the three times I have visited this Memorial in DC.
                        I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

                          Mark, I believe it's the 8th through the 12th or something like that. Pretty sure it starts on the 8th. Love to have you man.

                          ------------------------A classmates older brother was killed while we were in highschool. I'll never forget it. Prior to that it wasn't "real". That brought the gravity of the situation in full focus. Scared the shit out of me.

                            Like I said, I etched 4 names from the wall.

                              It's a real moving thing to see the wall, it really puts your life in perspective. It makes you question your goals and path!
