Halfway! Start of
week #6. Actual halfway is probably the end of the day on Tuesday.
Need to figure some time to have dinner or lunch with the daughter.
Turns 22 on the 5th. She'll be going back to WSU
on the 17th or so of this month. Eff Comm this morning, then 2 hrs
free. Need to start thinking of a topic for a ceremonial speech for
next Tuesday. Some interesting topics to choose from; Eulogy, Retirement,
Awards. Took Forensics mid-term. Boy, is it really that difficult
to word a question so someone could actually come up with an answer?
One definitive, correct answer? Not 2 out of the 4 that sound good?
Abnormal Behavior capped the day. Best work on the speech tonight
and BudgetVille.

Not
a bad day. Started off with PT, then heard from the US Attorney General's
Office for 2 hours. Just more of the same BS about the stuff from
last week. Sounds like they'll investigate a cop in a heartbeat,
but if the complainant has given false statements and such, well, let's
just say the prosecution isn't as eager. Lunch and Eff Comm then
Budgeting. Got some mid-term grades - B's. Just what I was
hoping for. This evening a group of us went to the Range and busted
a few caps. .45 cal Thompson, .40 cal Glock, .40 cal MP-5 and a 14"
Remington 870 shotgun. What a blast! That Thompson was "Schweet"!
Take a look by clicking on THIS LINK. No
much happening the rest of the evening. Dinner and an iced mocha
at Gargoyles, then some time working in the CBT.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mandy!
You too, Sheryl! Not a bad day. Chemical Agents first thing,
Budget, Lunch, then Abnormal Behavior. Out by 3PM. Great to
have the rest of the day off. Now, if I can just get some homework
completed, it would not have been a wasted day. Heard someone say
that we have 37 days and a wakeup. Cool! Roomy and I decided
that eating in the cafeteria was not our style tonight. Did it up
right at the local Chinese establishment, topped off, of course, by a trip
to Gargoyles. The time in the CBT scanning the pictures from the
Range yesterday. See them HERE. Worked
on assignments then beddy-bye time. Mandy is stopping by tomorrow.

Started the day off with
Forensics. Neat lecture on explosives from one of the chemists out
of HQ's in Washington, D.C.. One more Challenge run completed!
3.5 miles. Not a bad run today. Did all right until I hit those
darned hills. But, it's in the books. Lunch, Legal Issues and
then PT. Since we had the run this morning, only did stretching exercises.
Mandy came down to Quantico. Gave her the $1 tour! She couldn't believe
how spread out this place is. Went to dinner at Fat Tuesday's.
Good New Orleans style cooking. Then I HAD to take her over to Gargoyle's
for the usual. Good seeing her again. She's getting ready to go back
to WSU in about 9 days. Spent some time in the CBT catching up on
email and showing one of the classmates how to make a home page and work
Geocities. Finally got Lobo's
email address. He's our South African representative. What
a card! Well, time to do some homework! It'll be fun to get
home tomorrow and go camping with Brenton and some friends.
Friday,

Outta here by 2:45PM and
in C-land by 5:30. Grab some clothes for the boy and me, over to
the Blazer and popup and out to the Gap. Popup set up and relaxing
by about 7PM. Everyone else was there; Gary and his son, Garrett,
Harvey and his son, Josh, my boy, Brenton and Josh's friend, Shane.
3 adults and 4 boys (9-12 years old). The boys fished some this night
and did some biking, went to bed around 10. Us older boys sat around
and quaffed a few cold ones and swapped stories, turned in about 1AM.
Yep, this is what the DOCTOR ordered!
