Digging that trench

"Happy are those who are not in anguish over their failings. For
if a person is hard upon themselves, to whom will they be kind?"
(Si 14:1-6,14-16)

Today, I am not happy.

Tomorrow, I must stop digging.

Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force:

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.

The eyes of the world are upon you.

............

Good Luck!

And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

- General Dwight D Eisenhower

Today, and as you read this, you are en route to that great adventure for which you have trained for over two years.

This March 15, I finally start my new job.

Finally.

Here, I will begin the next great journey.

If only my other journey didn't feel like being stuck at Monte Cassino...

"Grounded?"

"I don't understand sir..."


"On your last flight, you've been showing signs of excess stress and fatigue. We can't have that in any of our front line pilots. The success of your missions rests on your physical as well as mental state of health. Therefore, I have no choice but to sideline you until further notice. You'll be off the flightline until after you've recuperated. Is that understood?"


"... yes sir..."

Another Day, Another Mission

Not being able to get the kill that day was disappointing...


But one has to stay positive. Just the flying itself is fun enough. After all, who knows what I'll run into today...


"Ready on the cat."

It's a Wonderful, Wonderful Life

Yay! Found a new song to add to my collection when I was searching for yesterday's post. Not bad, but once again, standard gino beats disclaimer. =P



EDIT: Boo, they removed the video. So here's someone's custom video using Kingdom Hearts as the backdrop.
