Today I have run a race, finished the steps for my deck, cut the grass, and swam two hours with The Mongoose.
So I’m gonna enjoy Saturday evening sitting on said reconstructed back deck, because that seems like a grand idea.

Last night before VBS I heard another young’un ask The Mongoose if she knew her “real parents.”
She looked at him with absolute disdain and said “those *are* my real parents.”

I find it legit funny that more Americans are probably invested in European folks experiencing our country than what brought them here in the first place.

And I love seeing it, especially the ones going nuts over my beloved South.
Welcome to Dixie’s sunny shores, y’all. You should come back for college football and deer season.

That’s an absolute top notch insult.

“These are not men anyone has asked if they could borrow a pocketknife.”
One of the most accurate descriptions, and insults, toward soft preachers I’ve ever heard.

The algorithm has decided I need to see a bunch of Star Wars criticism today, which basically confirms my adult impression that authors like Timothy Zahn and Kevin Anderson took Lucas’ admittedly cool concept (sword and sorcery…IN SPACE) and built a rather coherent world for it.

We have church small group at our house tomorrow…which means my wife and I spent most of the day making it looks like nobody lives here.

Full dress over white is possibly the sharpest looking uniform at the academy.

I got complimented on my posture during the run portion of our workout this morning.
So that’s nice.

“Even by Twitter standards I found her to be obnoxious.”
That…that’s a burn.

What was it with the seventies and songs with cool grooves but lyrics making no real sense? Songs like Jet, Ride Captain Ride, China Grove…listen to the lyrics. Just words strung together.

Dangerous guitar picking, dangerous harmonies, beautiful country gospel music.

When we first started our band, the way we learned to sing harmonies together was singing old gospel songs. Here’s “Just A Little Talk With Jesus” as we heard it done by Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys.

Me and my buddy just made use of a flat rock and some stolen chemistry lab tongs.

Not me. Buddy of a buddy. Mountain phase of Ranger school. All rain and misery, RI’s all over him, “you don’t have what it takes to be a Ranger,” etc etc.
“I never wanted to be a Ranger. I always wanted to be a princess.”
Cadre leaves immediately. Can’t let ‘em see you crack.

😂 The absolute funniest thing I ever saw in the Corps (and it wasn’t boot camp related):
Two brand-new boots roll in, literally one hour old. We’re standing Friday formation, Gunny finishes his spill and does the usual “Any questions?”
Platoon Sgt had already talked to them. Everybody knows the deal.
First boot’s hand slowly creeps up.
Gunny: “Yes, what is it?”
Boot, dead serious: “Gunny… why do whales beach themselves?”
The whole Company erupts. Gunny’s trying to hold it together, cracking up too. “Alright, alright… anybody ELSE got a question?”
Second boot’s hand immediately slides up.
We’re already dying.
Gunny sighs: “What is it?”
Second boot, with zero hesitation: “Gunny… why are apartments called apartments when apartments are not apart?”
I was literally crying. Tears running down my face. Gunny just shook his head, dismissed formation, and walked off laughing.
