Punctuallity

Cultures from different parts of the world are different.  I can accept that fact.  I am married to a Filipino.  We are invited to parties and cook outs all the time.  Another part of my history is that I am a military brat.

What does this have to due with punctuality?   

This T-shirt says it all.  We are told to be somewhere at a certain time, we arrive 15 minutes late, and we are the first ones there.  Whats wrong with being on time?

Have a great day.

Hello, Tronster! Bahahah, that's too funny. I'm a stickler for punctuality. And I know who in my family and friends are always late, so I tell them an earlier time than they need to be somewhere. That way they'll be on time, heehee.

Have a great week and happy A to Z!!

Hey, thanks for following my blog! This post sure rings a bell! We showed up for a baptism the other day 30 minutes early- the guy performing the baptism showed up 15 minutes after it was to begin. Yep, we're still adjusting and learning all the way!

New Location

Well everyone. I am here, what a wonderful place. I am moved into a new apartment, went from three bedroom and a two car garage to a one bedroom. Had a lot of stuff to "consolidate" or in my opinion, toss to the curve. I want to thank all of my friends in Florida. You guys are the greatest. I want you to all to know that the appreciate everything that you did for me the last week I was in town. I love you guys. Keep looking back, I will try to post some images of the new place tonight. I have a few things to take care of around town, and then on Friday, I will be taking my father back home. I got a first floor apartment that you had to travel up 14 steps to get into. It was funny. My father has bad knees and agreed to assist me if I lived on the first floor. I sure fooled him. He was a great help, but he has decided that I have to make a lot of friends here, because he isn't going to help me move out. Just to recap I was in NE Florida, I moved to DC, My o

"G" is for Gettysburg

Gettysburg PA, the site of an important battle from the United States Civil War.  Living in Northern VA, not all travel destination require us to get on a plane.  The Gettysburg National Military Park is a prime example.  This park has been featured in several movies, including Gettysburg, as well as Remember the Titans.  If you are a Civil War buff, or American History buff, this is a place to visit.  I believe the military study of this battle has been extensive. The battle of Gettysburg ended Robert E Lee's second invasion of the North during the Civil War. It was the bloodiest battle in the a war, with somewhere around 51,000 americans being killed on the field. This year is the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.  There are several events planned. The park is located in Gettysburg PA.  It is about 90 miles north of DC, located in central southern Pennsylvania. My wife and I had some friends over last year and we took a road trip to Hershey Park, (A post f
