A Tough, Yet Happy Day.

Yesterday Alex and I dropped Jessica off at the University of North Texas, Honor's College. She has a real nice room and a nice roommate. I believe she will do great and wonderful things

She has her own room, but she shares a common area with her roommate Stephanie. We got her unpacked and took care of the important things such as hooking up the TV, making sure there was an internet connection, and the Ramen Noodles were easily accessible.

The hard part of all this realizing our little girl is all grown up and moving on into the big, bright,and sometimes scary world. But like I said before, she will be fine. We are only two hours away and the phones are always by our sides. We wish her well, and will always love her.

Sheppard Profile

Ok...Here's the deal. In Wichita Falls, on of the local news channels comes out to the base and video tapes a selected area that they deem newsworthy and then edits it into a little piece for the news and they call it Sheppard Profile. This time they decided to do my video department, not the greatest job, but it'll do. They certainly didn't put in all of the good quotes we said. they just made it a little comical. Enjoy!

Moby dick on Fire Island

We got bored at work one Friday afternoon. After all...the Air Force only works half a day on Fridays!!

You Gotta Love Wal-Mart

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a thing or two and as I was walking in a guy ran out with a camera in one hand and a lady's purse in the other hand and the Wal-Mart security team close behind. They tackled this guy in the parking lot, and when they let him up he started swinging and connecting a few punches, then the police arrived and ordered him to lie down on the ground, but he wouldn't (Dumb Ass!). So the cop pulled out, what I thought was a pistol but turned out to be a taser pistol, and lit that guy up like the 4th of July!! His arms were flung out to his side and his eyes got real wide and he pissed his pants. What a show!! The only regret was that I didn't have a video camera.

That made my day.

What if...

What if, when someone dies they were put into a small rocket and sent into space. Wouldn't that be cooler than being buried in the ground? A message could be put in there saying something to alien beings "If found, please regenerate back to age (INSERT AGE HERE) and return to earth."

I'd be willing to do that! In fact, I think that would be a great business adventure. Except NASA would probably want a piece of that pie...

It's Been A Long Time.

I know, I know...it's been a long time. I really just haven't had much to talk about. things are kind of going on cruise control around here. Justin is no longer playing on his traveling soccer team so we are home on the weekends now. He is still playing, bidding his time until he starts high school next year.

Jessica is coming to the end of a very successful high school career and we are so very proud of her. She will be going away from us this fall and attending the University of North Texas. Majoring in Journalism? Still not really clear on the major, but she'll decide soon. We'll miss her, except for Justin...he just wants her room.

I'm still at the base managing the base Multimedia Center and Alex is still at the credit union...again, we are both moving around in a robotic cruise control trying to keep things under control in this mad house of ours.

I guess one of the real reasons I neglected this blog was the holidays got real busy. Two trips to San Antonio and the girls went to Beer-Land (Germany). Plus the Cowboys tanked their season and I was about to drive to Dallas and personally slap Jerry Jones. BUT...Jerry made me proud by cleaning house and getting red of Tank (I was in jail for guns) Johnson and PacMan "Crime-Time" Jones...but most of all...HE GOT RID OF THE CANCER!!!! T.O. "Oh-No" Owens is GONE!! That's G-O-N-E, Gone, baby Gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess all that buttered popcorn he ate is one of the reasons he dropped the ball a lot. The best news is that my Bro-in-Law is back on the Cowboy's bandwagon and has lifted the "Dego Curse" (He's Italian and those are his words for all of you politically correct jerk-offs out there). I don't do politically correctness...I believe it's weakening our country.

I promise, I'll try and keep this updated more often. In the mean time...stay safe...

Later!
