Picture of “mail call” in Kuwait! * May is National Military Appreciation Month. * Write 1 thank you card or 1,000 (organize your personal troops) to a soldier. It can be as simple as “thank you for your service!” * Bring the card to any GMC, Pontiac & Buick dealer and place it in their …
I was heading home from one of my “home organizing†(shameless self-promotion) jobs yesterday, when I heard Kaare (pronounced Cori) Johnson, talking on the his local radio show. Yes, I am a huge talk radio geek – I admit it. My 6 yo knows who Neal Boortz is, so that should tell you something. When …
The Milblog conference was an enormous success this past weekend. Everything went better than planned for this blogger and our ever-growing group/family. Our “virtual” community is getting noticed and making a difference in the world. We are all proud to know that we aren’t wasting our time, but doing something, no matter how small, to …
Here in DC for the “MILBLOG” conference. Last night we had a reception sponsored by USAA. Today is the actual conference. We were greeted this morning with a pre-recorded opening welcome from the President of the United States WOW! Now we are having a live VTC with Rear Admiral, Mark I. Fox, USNavy from Iraq. …

“Here comes the rain.” I know, I’ll probably be saying that the rest of my days in LA. I spent 3 years in the El Paso desert, 2 in Oklahoma during a drought & now I live in the perma-swamp. Really, I welcome rain, because otherwise I would never get anything done (am an outdoor …
If I had to have a shot of tequila every time someone mentioned “Katrina,†well lets just say I would be so liquored up that I could not find my laptop! I have had an enormously warm welcome from all my neighbors. I already have a small Rolodex of phone numbers, in case I need …
