Ah yes Berk, pints of stout at the Dog and Duck, and getting a peek at some of your amazing collection of cutlery. I could go for that. Good to know you're well, and still keeping them knuckleheads down in Austin in line.
Samurai Dave, well by golly, done with college now? Still hanging out in Waco? Still teaching self defense classes to hot college babes? Inquiring minds want to know.
Going to have to have another get together of Texas khuk nuts. Got a couple that would have like to have made the last one, mPisi and Danny in Japan (when he gets back).
Folks, Arch Angel touched on something that's been bugging me. I know a lot of you were probably worried about me, and I hate to have put y'all through that. Karma has a way of catching up with a fellow, and it won't be long I'll be down at the squadron in my T-shirt, jeans, and "USAF Retired" hat, helping my old squadron mates load their duffel bags onto the big white bus for yet another ride to the airfield, headed across the pond. Will it suck? You better believe it will. Will I worry about them? I'd be lying if I said otherwise. But I won't waste a whole lot of time on that, because they're well trained, well equipped, and some of the brightest and best I've ever seen. It's a source of deep pain, but also considerable pride, to realize they truly don't need me anymore. Still, just want y'all to know, that I know what it feels like to have the shoe on the other foot, and I'm truly sorry for the consternation I've caused.
