Startin Work

Although we haven't fully taken the reins formally, we're pretty much running the show now. I have been in the driver's seat for about 5 days now, and haven't had too much trouble. It doesn't seem like a difficult job, and once we get fully settled in, I expect things to be rather dull.

Last week I receive word my our third child being born. It was pretty surreal, since it was lunchtime here when he was born. Also, it came in the form of a red cross message, and my staff is the one that receives and processes them. My desk SGT surprised me because I was on my way out for lunch and she said an RCM was coming in, and let me read it before telling me what it was. The joke was on her, though, since I made her write it all down anyway.

We all watched the last few inninngs of the world series game 6 live this morning early before shift started. My senior SGT on staff is from Texas and is a Rangers fan. I like the Cardinals as a whole, so I'm rooting for the Cardinals. It was a great game, even if I was getting scowls everytime I cheered for St Louis.

I ran 4 miles last night and 3 miles tonight. The alititude really bothers me here, since we are at 4900 feet. Part of it is I haven't run seriously in quite some time and am really far from where I was or could/should be. Tomorrow is my last running day of the week, since I don't work out on Sundays.

Things are well overall. I got skype working. Katie can give you my handle name, although since I pay for the internet, I don't go on all the time, only every few days around 930PM Fort Drum time. It's not too expensive, but I am trying to save some money right now.

That's all for now. I'll attempt to write again after the folks we're replacing all fly out. I can't say when until after they leave, so check back periodically for an another update.
