I love my wife.  You say that should be obvious, maybe sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t.  But its still true.  You say everyone loves their wife, but not according to statistics in the U.S.  Actually its more depressing than you would think.  People say they love so and so…but there actions call them a liar.So today I state my Top 13 Faults & Defaults (as I see them) while my wife is away for a few days enjoying her visit with friends before we head off to Africa in January.And if she reads this hopefully she will see… READ MORE!

As the time comes closer to moving out of our apartment and onto the base then eventually onto the ship my things (my lovely, wonderful possessions) find new homes. Today my dining table and chairs got packed onto a truck and hauled away. It was bitter sweet. I probably won’t miss my table per-say, but the girl that I am attaches memories to my things.
