My youngest turns 21 today.
Jeese, am I really that old?
After watching DC and me get drunk he decided he wants us, his parents, to take him out and be his DD.
Responsible kid. Makes me proud.
Anyway... Should be fun. Doesn't have his dad's craving for plane whiskey. So we're gonna try some mixed drinks.
I'll post pics if he let's me take a few.
More about the other son THIS weekend.

jok The Dept Of Defense briefed the president this mornings
They told President Obama that 2 Brazilian soldiers were killedin Iraq . To everyone's surprise, all the color drained from Obama's face. Then he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands,visibly shaken,almost in tears. Finally, he composed himself and asked, 'Just how many is a Brazilian?'
This is not surprising, since he obviously has no understanding of billion or trillion either.
H/T to DC

...wants MY son.
Just got off the phone with my son. Seems the man I didn't vote for and have very little, if any, respect for has decided he needs my son to fight for him.
I've decided not to look at it that way. My country has asked... You have asked and he has said yes.
He says we'll know more next weekend.
I couldn't be more scared.
I couldn't be more proud.
Stay tuned for details and don't tell the missus. Nick and I agreed not to tell her till he knew for sure.

Hey everyone!
Yes, I'm still alive. I survived the Blues Bash. Not for trying though. Looking back I was in a hurry to get my drink on. Too much of a hurry. I have no idea how much I drank... too much... too much shine, too much Jack and all WAY too fast.
Before the band finished it's first set I had fallen on some lady and was pretty much unconscious. (that is, I don't remember anything).
I have a couple pics... Guess i'll post them. I know there are more floating around. They'll have to be emailed to me... Maybe i'll post them too.
The job search is going slow. One company expressed interest but even that is waning. Plus I don't think I really want to move 1,400 miles east. Still have some money to make ends meet for a couple more months... I fear the recession will out last my cash reserves though. Wonder if I can get bailed out...?
PGR has been busy. We've had about 8 funerals in the last couple weeks. I RC'd Cpl Donte Whitworth. A very beautiful family. He was buried about ten miles from my house. Besides the Marine honor guard, a small group came in. Found out they (a Major, other Cpls and PFCs) were with Donte in Iraq. They were all home on leave but had come to Indy to be with Donte's family. To me, that speaks volumes about the character of the man.
Heading out (actually just got back...) to an IPGR members funeral this afternoon. He was killed earlier this week. Steve Ray. Owned a local pub and would often give a whole weekends profits to the PGR. He was killed when another driver turned left in front of him. Spoke with his kids (one daughter and two sons) this evening.
His older son (his name escapes me right now) said "he was doing what he loved. Riding on a nice day with friends. You can lie in a bed and wither away or you can just go... He preferred to go this way."
Stevie, you will be missed.
Hopefully this is the beginning of some regular posting and reading on my part. We'll see.
Please be safe and watch out for us riders, k? Thanks!
