Got the "official" word yesterday that the older daughter's boyfriend

Daughter hooked a good one. *Not only is he a computer geek, but in
the bonus round, he has the option package that he's a fly fisherman
from Montana.
We've already determined that the batchelor party will be in Montana
in June during the salmonfly hatch on the Madison. *Who cares when the
wedding date is, as long as the batchelor party is done right.

Okay, instead of the NFL wildcard games this weekend, we watched
"wedding planner" shows on the WE network. My eyeballs are bleeding.
I've just talked to the Air Force Reserve recruiter and he can have me
back in uniform and deployed to Iraq inside a week. I'm asking for
Afganistan as there has to be trout in those mountains. If I work it
right, I can arrive back in town on the day of the wedding.

Um, wouldn't be safer for the military if you just installed a towel bar
or something...

HTH,

....I mean, you'd probably be out of traction long about time for the
wedding...
