  • A Family of Tools

    Military people will understand this one.

    This is a series of texts I traded with my husband this morning in reference to our plans for this Memorial Day Weekend:

    Me:  We need to solidify plans tonight for this weekend.

    Husband: Can you just make a COA (course of action) presentation for this weekend and I'll approve/disapprove tonight?  That's right, I'm bringing MDMP (Military Decision Making Process) to the house.

    Me:  You just got Receipt of Mission. We will do Mission Analysis together.  MDMP is a team/staff effort.  Don't they teach you anything?  -Household 6

  • Procrastination

    20 page paper due Saturday - I still don't even have a topic.

    I'm toying with an idea and was plugging in key words into search engines.  some how in my search for the words United Nations, Pakistan, ISI, or terrorism, I wound up on this hysterical gem of a video.

    Needless to say - hours later, I still don't have a good lead in my research but I certainly got a huge laugh for the night.

    The Washington Post excerpt that led me to the video:

    "Male Pakistani actor Osman Khalid Butt also rose eyebrows back home this week after he recorded a “foul-mouthed” video. In the video, Butt attempts to use as many of the 1,500 English and Urdu words recently banned by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority from use in text messages that he can."

    Watch the video - totally worth it.

  • Lovely

    "Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human
    beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side
    can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which
    makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky. "
    -Rainer Maria Rilke
