• And man looked around him and announced for all to hear "Life is grand".

  Yes, life certainly is!  I'm extremely content right now as I sit on our back porch on the laptop sipping a mojito and crunching on sunflower seeds.  Sounds of suburbia surround me....a weedwacker, kids laughing, a dog barking, mothers calling for their kids.  It's just all so wonderful. 

  Work was better today since I vowed not to worry about all the stuff that accumulated during my no-notice flood duty.

  After work I did my daily Wii Fit hunt and came up fruitless.  I picked up a couple of picture frames though at Wally World.  I dropped a picture of our flood crew off at my Commanders house.  I think that he was really shocked at the gesture.  I also dropped off a Johnny Cash CD since we had talked about him on the bus ride home.  He was drinking a martini when I arrived and he offered me one.  I couldn't refuse and ordered one up.

  I asked him if it was gin or vodka and he said that it was Kettle One.

  His recipe:

  Fill shaker with ice
  4 oz of Kettle one into a shaker
  Shake
  Pour into a martini glass
  Garnish with an olive

  Upon hearing the recipe I told him that it really wasn't a martini but really just a vodka on the rocks. 

  I wasn't sure if I could drink it since I am not really a hard alcohol drinker, let alone straight up, but thankfully it was actually pretty good.  I think having a good quality vodka helped matters.

  After my visit I went to the grocery store to get dinner for tonight.

  I then came home and here I am!

  I'm hungry but Amanda works until 10pm so I won't be eating until 10:30 or so.
