A little slow

I didn't realize the pressure I was under to write on such a frequent basis. I know I haven't delivered in a few days, but at the rate ya'll are chastising me, it makes me feel as though I am working for George Steinbrenner. I suppose it is because I am lazy and/or there really isn't much to talk about. The big wigs coming into town provided a little stir. My opinion, for what it is worth, is that is was long overdue. The President was not in Fallujah. Seems as though, old girl Katie has had some positive things to say ... it would be nice if the press actually put the names of the Marines she talked with or the unit name into the paper. I don't think she realizes that it would be something that the Marines would put into their proverbial scrap book.You know - something that many years from now they would whip out and show their children - look what I did when I was younger. I think that the majority of us have/had grandparents in WWII or Vietnam and can remember times when grandpa would regale us with the stories of "the war." It is a shame that with all the advances in communication the art of newspaper clippings or letters are going by the wayside. I hope that the young Sailors and Marines are saving or printing their emails.

The good news is that we are just starting a very exciting time in the sports world - the baseball season is the seventh inning stretch, college football has kicked off, and the NFL season is tossing the coin to see who gets the ball. The Saints should be tough, Navy opened up a winner (and faces a huge uphill battle against nationally ranked Rutgers on Friday), and the Friars continue to look for walks against the NL West.
