I was just coming on here to start Thursday’s issue and I thought, gee, after all the messages that I’ve gotten wondering if I’m alright and hoping everything is alright, I ought to write a quick note and say, “what?  Don’t you guys read the notes I send anymore?”  And I go to the website and there it is…

NOTHING!!!!

See, last week, the Air Force, in its infinite wisdom, decided to start the inspection/exercise at my base like five days early!  And still run it through the weekend.  So Impish, being the great guy that he is, grabs his phone, whips out a quick message to all you guys apologizing for not being able to post again until this coming Thursday because of the Air Force and I haven’t been on my laptop ever since!  And tonight, Monday, after working 14+ hour shifts since like LAST Monday (non-stop) have all these messages and emails wondering if I’m still alive.  BECAUSE THE FAST POST THAT I SENT NEVER POSTED!!!!

Ain’t modern technology grand?

I’m so sorry my friends.  Yes, I am fine.  All is well.  Other than the fact that this dragon is frazzled and razzled and a bit ding-donged.  It has been a monster week.

I am going to try to put something together for Thursday and let you guys know how things went.  I’ve got a million emails to catch up on and some doctor appointments and stuff to catch up on, but the good news is that the Exercise is OVER!!!  And we SHOULD have passed the inspection portion of it.  I’ll be real surprised if we didn’t.  I was part of the grading process and from everything that I saw, it went fine.

Anyway, let me get this posted before someone figures out to call the local cops to do a welfare check on me.  Someone would figure out that they just saw me the other day and wonder if something happened and you’all would start a local panic around here.

Thank you my friends for caring.  I am TRULY BLESSED!
