A cool breeze is blowing in from the north, and gentle rain turned gold by the evening sun falls on parched grass, hot concrete and spent brass. The smell of rain in a Texan August. Beautiful and rare.
Poetry aside, my eldest boy called this morning to say he'd been promoted to Specialist ahead of schedule. Well done, kid, keep it up. He's currently attached to the 2nd Armored Division and "on mission," which means he has to sit in a comms truck on weekends instead of enjoying Korean nightlife. His Platoon Sergeant's clearly wise.
In other news, Blue Eschaton's slowing down a bit and takes life philosophically, unless steaks or fried pies are on the table. Then everything's different.
Mind how you go,

WSF, he was a bit ticked off. I suppressed a grin :)

DeleteOMGosh - that boy looks so much like his daddy. Lucky him! And he looks so grown up - like a MAN!
ReplyDeletePrayers for Blue. I love him like he was my own.
He's definitely mine, Adrienne! And well done, boy. Hope he gets a commission but that's his call and the Army's.
DeleteBlue would send love if he could speak...
Congratulations on son's promotion. Every one matters.
ReplyDeleteThanks, SgtBob. I'll pass that on.
DeleteThe night life there is something.
ReplyDeleteOf course what little I know was at Osan.
Some days I know how Blue feels.
God bless you all.
Linda, I sympathize with Blue too! Hope your house project's going well.
DeleteGod bless.
He'll have enough time to sew his wild oats. Better that he is a bit seasoned before he tries.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that he cant go to school while there?
I think that's the case with his current assignment, LL. C'mon get, get that degree. Even *associate level would be ok.
DeleteGood stuff. Many more healthy ones for Blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kid. Blue seems content, especially when the *treats are flowing...
