Word of the Day

Choruspondence: Communicating via group singing.

Another day of recovering from my marathon jam-making session. It's Friday. #1 son's friend is leaving tomorrow. HTP is going to drive him to The Big City and the airport. #1 son would do it but he has to work tomorrow. The realities of grown-up life. When you're a kid, you can sleep all day and play all night. When you're a grown-up, you work. Right now #1 son is in transition. He still sleeps most of the day away and stays up all night but he fits in a few hours of work here and there.

Our Devil Dog Daughter called. She's going to be evacuated from Pensacola because of Hurricane Dennis. Her cell phone kept breaking up but I gather this may delay her schooling and she wasn't too happy. Semper Gumby. Join the Marines and learn flexibility. She was hoping to find out where her permanent duty station is going to be so her husband can finish filling out his deployment paperwork. Lucky newlyweds! They get to deal with paperwork and unending bureaucracy from two separate and divergent branches of the military. In the meantime, DDD had been waiting with the rest of the Marines to be safely evacuated from Pensacola since 7:30 AM ET...in the heat. She called around 2 PM CT to say that they finally let them back into the dorms. They'll still be evacuated...eventually...I think.
