Omnipresent in my mind has been the thought of what is next. Incipient feelings of uncertainty really seem to be leitmotif. That not withstanding, things here are moving along. My Padres are clambering along; Tony Stewart has won 3 of the last 4 NASCAR races; I'm back to running at a snails pace, and it's hotter than Hades. I continue to find a gallimaufry of things to keep me busy - including golf. My sandgame is still a little rough, but who doesn't like a challenge?
The other good news is that my relief, a Marine EWO, has made email contact. And as everyone knows, this is a clear sign that I am on the downhill slope. My Fleet Marine Forces Qualified Officer board is next week - so I am spending some time preparing. For those of you who don't know, it is like a SWO pin for the Marines.
In the recent days, two more care packages arrived: one from the Long Beach Moodys and the other from the Grieser Family of Kernersville, NC. From wildflower seeds to books - the packages had all bases covered. I can't reiterate how awesome it is to walk into my space and see a package from home on the desk.
Now if you recall, your efforts helped CY (of the Padres) make the all-star game. I need that same type of effort from ya'll now. My parents recently bought a Corvette and I think that it is only fitting that they buy Colleen and I one, too. So please help me put the pressure on! It is the least that they can do ...
So in closing in my best sotto voce - Go Padres!

I've heard through the grapevine that the Corvette will pass to Sean, and I agree, Geoff, you and Colleen also deserve a Corvette ... and how about Byron and Aimee? While you're at it Rex, Meg and I will settle for an Impala.
The pads are looking good, T-Tone has been the man! Things are going well for me. Football is going good, our last week of spring ball.
Oh, boy, Oh, boy, what have I done?Trouble in River City.
Come on, Geoff. Think about the insurance. Ask for what you really want - a Tundra or a Tahoe. Afterall, the car they did buy you fell into the Gulf. Doesn't that warrant a new one?
Byron and I would be more than content with a Tahoe as well, but I suppose if we had to we could tolerate a Corvette. Anything in particular you would like in a package, Geoffry?
