This is a link above to the article which disposed of McChrystal. I cannot believe more people aren't angry. Greg knows this author and I am told he has a great story to tell. STAY TUNED!

Drunken Sailor Solution

What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-aye in the morning?
Chorus:
Way hay and up she rises (x3)
Earl-aye in the morning
1. Put him in the long boat till he's sober,
2. Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er.
3. Shave his belly with a rusty razor.
4. Put him in bed with the captain's daughter.

I am admitting to the auditory abuse which I subjected all my offspring too.
Can't wait to "renew my tunes" for the grand kiddos

Father's Day Yesterday!

So yesterday was Father's Day and my man heard from all his kiddos and then took his dad to the Rafter's Baseball game. He got to read his Sunday New York Times, More from Glenn Beck, walked the dog, biked with yours truly and essentially I think he had a good day.  I reminded one of the kiddos it was really my day too.  I made this all possible.
Gretchen and Josh went back to Germany and Meg had been back for a week.  We also shared our 35th Wedding Anniversary with those who were about. We wandered the Magnificent Mile, ate at the Cape Cod Room, shopped at the iStore and biked the lake walk all the way to McCormick Center.
Spring has been warm and muggy and pretty wet except for Island Lake which is low.  We launched the pontoon boat but the dock is still on shore.  So we put the boat back in the pole barn.  The wave runner is available if Michael was in Duluth.  (Guess I have to check this out.)
I have baby birds under the eaves.  I think they are Townsend solitaires...I am not sure.  I will explore more bird books.
My daily exercise continues and frankly I have quit counting.  We also are hosting a wonderful Rafter's Baseball player from California.  Wait I take back the wonderful part becuz as any parent knows; either natural or adopted, the minute you boost: children misbehave.
Well, it is off the roast the asparagus.
