Merry Christmas, Mom!
So I just talked to the Navy boy. He's "stuck" in Okinawa - a beautiful place - with his Navy gf. They have a nice house together, and he has Peace And Quiet doing Navy paperwork and regular Navy stuff as he ponders his future - the family is pushing for college as his next step, and he's not sold on the idea.
Blithely, from son: "Mom, I wanna go back to Iraq."
"WHAT!?" Deep breath. "How come?"
"It's different. This is boring."
"So?"
"At least there I'd feel useful."
Can't argue with that.
Next up: Mary goes to Iraq. I tell you, nuffa this. I'm gonna grab my Mom and we'll *** straighten out the Middle East. On the way we'll make Rudy come too - if he can fix the Javits Center he can certainly take care of Baghdad (sp).

It was a big moth, and he took an old toothbrush and cleaned off the moth's wings while the spider stamped all eight feet and swore revenge. But the broom is mightier than the arachnid.

Oddly enough, he thinks Baghdad is a better choice then Mom in Harlem. He figures I'll do Harlem, he'll do Baghdad. I'm still waiting for my helicopter.
