Rough day . . . one of my closest friends and my favorite hunting buddy died last Thursday.
The family asked me to speak at his funeral service today. Somehow, through the tears, I did it.
But man, I am going to miss him SO much!

Sending hugs

I just read that Donald Trump's favorite movie is SUNSET BOULEVARD . Great film.
He has a lot in common with the main character- both old and delusional.

^Maybe one of his trading cards should have been him as Norma Desmond?

I've mentioned to Kristi that once I leave the forces I'd be happy to get a pet dog. Before we got married she'd never had a pet. Since then we've had two rabbits and two cats. I don't think Kristi quite understands just how different dogs are to those pets and how much extra work they are despite her assurances that she knows this.

Anyway, what I've not told her is that I want to call the dog, Shark. Perfect for those long walks along the beach.

Shark!

I was thinking that Jeremy Renner is the luckiest person on earth to have had such a horrible accident and after two major surgeries be on the road to recovery.

I don't think Snape turned from evil and embraced good, I think the evidence shows he acted against Voldemort because he wanted revenge on him for killing the object of his affections.

In general people form opinions and philosophies with emotions first, and then use their brains to filter in only information that supports their opinion. As Martin Luther said, "reason is a whore."

This morning I dropped my phone in the mud. This is a depressing situation.

Why is the acronym "AR" short for for ArmaLite?
Shouldn't it be "AL"?

Hoping that Julian Sands is found alive and well.

Me too. I hadn't even known about this until just now.
