I have never really done a “40 before 40″ or any other kind of list post so on the eve of the eve of the 41st anniversary of my birth, I’m going to give you a few. I have some things I want to write down. A bit of goal setting, a bit of “publishing”, [...]

So what’s new? We are still waiting for orders. Nice.

I’m turning over some kind of new leaf right? This here blog is going to go in a couple of different directions. I’d never deprive you of a great Khan story – one soon. I must have a place to bitch about the Army or I’ll blow up but I’m also starting to [...]
