I don't want to get all maudlin and sentimental and stuff, 'cause I have a reputation to keep down, after all, but school's out and I head home from Salt Mines U tomorrow at oh-dark thirty...

I have the bestest wife in the world

The stud at about 2 o'clock is the lock.  There are small quartz chips in it, and the thumb stud.

Not sure how the reddish hue snuck in there.  Trick of the light.
Also, first time using the portable photo studio she bought a few months ago, maybe I did it wrong.

Yeah, I know, Gunny would prefer I had a Glock in there... Oh, well.

Happy Father's Day

Hope there weren't too many days when it seemed like this:

I Ain't Lion When I Say, "You're an Awesome Dad" - Cheezburger

See you next week, Dad!

Help! I've been cuddled by cats and I can't get up!

This photo on Lolcats is titled And God Said, "Let There Be Cats" - Cheezburger

Woke up this morning at odd angles, with a car inside each angle.  It's nice when they want to cuddle up close, but they tend to cuddle so close that the move parts of me around, and when they each cuddle up so close that the move parts around, I almost suspect they're shilling for a chiropractor...

A couple of cups of coffee, a few ibuprofen, and I'll be ready to go see if the RUMINT of ammo at the local Super WalMart is true...

ETA:  The RUMINT re: Ammo @Wally World may have been true earlier this week, but it is no longer.  I haz a sad...

Shooty Sweetness

I know, not my usual thing...

RAWR!!! Kitteh Haz A Fierce!

NEVER QUIT!!!

Can't tell if Bandit just won't give up, or if he's having too much fun to stop...

The back story:  The float he was on was sponsored by the Pentagon, for the Military Working Dog Memorial.  He won a contest to be reunited with his family at the Rose Parade; he told his wife he won a contest for a trip to the Rose Parade for her and their son...

He looks awful young to be a Sergeant First Class.  Or maybe it's just me...
