Weekend Warrior No More... Almost

This weekend Husband retires from military service.

He was full time USAF for 13 years. Once Shecky was born he got out. He didn't want to be gone as much as the military required. He didn't want to miss that much of Shecky's growth and love. He joined the USAF Reserves. He was based out of Fort Worth for 7 years. One weekend a month. Two weeks a year.

As of this Sunday, May 4, 2008, he will be officially retired. No more weekends playing war games. No more trips hither and yon. No more worries about his unit being called to action during a war. A pension and health benefits waiting for us when he turns 65. Fond memories of his days serving our country and some not so fond...

It's the end of an era. The close of a very long chapter. Congratulations Honey. You did it!

Holding Out For A Hiro

I am addicted to Heroes! Someone very dear to me bought Season 1 on DVD for me. I got it this past weekend. I'm currently on Disc 5 and I am COMPLETELY smitten with Hiro. He's just... adorkable. He and Ando are my current favorite characters on TV.

The series, so far, is incredibly engrossing. The writers COMPLETELY suck you in with their weekly cliffhanger endings. My father, who is NOT a TV or SciFi person at all, is hooked. We've been watching 1 or 2 episodes a day and we are thoroughly enjoying ever second.

I can't wait for the new season to start September 24th. If you haven't given this show a try you're really, REALLY missing out. Run, do not walk, RUN to your nearest TV on DVD vendor and give it a shot. (This is NOT a paid for endorsement. I just like the show THAT damn much!)
