Happy Birthday Dear Mark Sr.


To our dear big brother, We wish you a happy birthday from long long ago.... As a gift, we put a goofy picture of ourselves instead of you. Remember, you aren't old... you're just.... wait a minute, you ARE old!
No but really, we love you and hope you have a great birthday.

US Navy Personnel of the Joint Logistics Command


This is a recent photo taken November 23, 2007, the day after Thanksgiving. We met at the airfield here in Bagram, Afghanistan. The aircraft is a US Navy EA-6B Prowler. We had fun seeing all the other aircraft there too. Despite being located in a land locked nation like Afghanistan, the US Navy is doing some good things here. We have doctors, lawyers (not too late to sign up ACORN #2), chaplains, logisticians, and former sea-going Sailors such as myself keeping track of ground operations. I hope you enjoy the picture.

Bonus points for the one who can point out the handsome ACORN rep located 4th from the right.

Best Family Rumors.....

1. Which mother and son pair have daydreamed about moving to a
large pacific northwest city to attend school and maybe to get a job?

2. What sib (1,2,3,4 or 5) is using the blowing up hip hop geriatric family member to meet babes in the city by the bay.... (ok, maybe the choice is between 2 & 3)...???
