happy labor day! it's not really any different than any other day for me... but it's nice to know people somewhere in the world have the day off.
so... i did get to cover a visit by the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general peter pace today. here's some info if you would like it... http://www.defenselink.mil/bios/biographydetail.aspx?biographyid=85
basically, as my commander put it, i was two handshakes away from the president. general pace was really cool and didn't come in to talk at us but with us. he took questions from soldiers and answered them the best he could. from the looks of him, it's hard to tell he's been in the military for 40 years. the stress of war and politics seem to have had the opposite effect they usually do on officers of his calliber. all in all it was cool and i got a 4-star coin out of the deal. (those of you with military experience know what that's about)
otherwise... just another laborOUS day in paradise.
have a great day off!

This year, Labor Day's just another day for me, too: for once, I don't have to work.
Rubbin' shoulders with some famous folks there Mr. Hartman. Me so proud. <3
So we count as the 2 readers? Or are we 3 and 4 by the looks of it? Missed you at the wedding, it was good to see the wife. We expect you at the anniversary party. Nick and Marisa
All right, I'm a newby. Great stuff Hartman. There are other readers out there (Enter Twilight Zone music)
I'm a reader!!!
Here's what I don't get, why do people work on labor day? Everyone just needs to go home, sit on their ass and sip on some lemonade or adult beverage. Congratulations on the coin, I imagine it's good for flipping.
