My son, the cavalryman
I've come to the conclusion that my boy is, was or will be a full fledged cavalry man.
What has lead to this conclusion, you may well ask. I mean he's two and a half, not exactly the age one expects to be deciding on such matters. It's because of his fascenation with all things, well, cavalry. He sees the wargames figures on my table and is instantly drawn to the horse mounted ones. He loves them, especially the bugler, but not exclusively. No, anyone on a horse is good for him.
But horses aren't just all. He's also very much into their more modern, mechanical counterparts. He often crawls up on my lap and asks me to show him pictures of tanks. One of his personal favorites seems to be the German Stug III, though he's quite taken with anything of the sort.
The heart of it is, when faced with a choice, infantry, cavalry or civillian transport, he always picks the cav. Hmmmm, we'll have to see how he reacts to the air force...
My Stars!
Gemini (May 21 — June 21)
A lucky star is watching over you. So as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Hitch your wagon to a star." You are about to receive proof of your power to make the right things happen. Just be sure to stop doubting your potential.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 — Nov. 22)
A revelation about your formative years will bring memories flooding back. It's a process that will prove deeply fruitful and enlightening. Watch what happens next as a genie comes right out of its bottle and starts granting your wishes.
This is October?
Dear God!
It's not october out there...it's frickin' July! I mean seriously, when was the last time, in a northern climate like this you could comfortably wear shorts outside in the evening? Sure I went to school with guys who insisted on wearing shorts year 'round, but they were freaks and it was high school, when everyone was trying to be different. Thank goodness they all did it together.
But I digress.
I'm looking at daytime highs of almost 30° and they're still using the humidex on the weather channel. When do you normally need a humidex in October? I'm used to it snowing before Halloween.
Yes, I realize it sounds like I'm complaining. And I guess in a way I am. I like warm, but not this warm. I'd be happy with 23, 24 maybe even 25° but this is just
too warm. I know, it'll be snowy and minus a bazillion soon, so I should enjoy it while I can, but I can't, you see because it hurts me with migraines, and it's killing poor E. So much as I prefer to be warm than to be cold, I'd still prefer it to be cooler than warmer, if that makes any sense at all.
I now return you to our normal one track mind...
