Thursday's Thoughts

• From the show Land Of The Lost,  I think we're in a different world Will. Why do you say that dad?
• Umm, maybe because of the giant dinosaurs trying to eat you every time you turn around?
• Yes, been watching episodes of The Land Of The Lost series.
• Had forgotten Wesley Eure who played Will Marshall referred to himself professionally as simply Wesley.
• Fail.
• I tried to watch the movie Australia. Fifteen minutes of Hugh Jackman saying, Yahh! to a herd of cattle in slow motion and Nicole Kidman saying, Oh my.  in slow motion in a hoity toity English accent was plenty.
• Odd warning to the effect: Aboriginal and Maori Strait Islander peoples may need to be aware the images and/or voices of dead people may be portrayed in this film.
• Watched Kung Fu Panda instead.
• Great.
• There are few things better than the nights when it's bed time the baby has had such a full day and is so satisfied with life and secure that when I pick him up for bed and tell him where we're going he just lays his head down on my shoulder waves to big brother and sister while saying, Nite nite.  and when I lie him down he simply says, Nite daddy.  turns over and is asleep before I leave the room.

Born In Waco Texas

The world would be a better place if on the first day of every job the new person had to be naked the entire work day and then for the next two days after that, everybody else is naked and the new person wears clothes.

• When we were getting ready to deploy there was a guy whose name got called at every stop- every range and every class. He got stuck on our battle roster and nobody could get him off it. They even called his name for transports and briefings when we were actually downrange.
• There was even a legend that every time that happened- an officer had to verify the guys whereabouts. Dunno if any part of that idea is true but yeah- we were still joking about calling out Here! surreptitiously when his name was called for roll well into our first briefings and convoys in Iraq.
• They called his name for both the survival class at Camp Cedar 2 and the convoy out of there. 
• Although I don't know where it was at some time his name was called from a flight manifest.
• Weird- I think of him often and wonder what happened to him.
