Since Last We Spoke 3/3/14

What can I say about this weekend, except it ended with a return of the Polar Vortex. Clearly I’ve gotten soft living south of the Mason-Dixon line for more than 3 years now. My week is completely dominated by the Army and some sustainability work, but I had plenty of down time this weekend (forced–it’s sad but I could have worked all weekend what with the spouse on Reserve duty), so here’s what I’ve been reading since last we spoke:

As I skimmed the titles of the articles I had to just laugh. A little “light reading” to some makes skin crawl on others. Just is funny in a sick way. Have a good week!

Yes, I find myself making a concerted effort in my life to get away from so much darkness from time to time. We play hard in my household when we get the chance–I hope it’s true for others, as well.
