The end of a long day

Refreshment


Baton Rouge Traffic.

It sucks.

We got turned around today, and turned a 15 minute trip to the hotel into a 45 minute trip.

Then our key cards didn't work, for some reason. Several other people on our floor had the same problem, so i know it wasn't just me....

In spite of all this, i've had a nice day. Looking forward to a shower and dinner. Then i will call the family. Then i will be typing some notes. Then bad tv and a beer is in order. Then bed, and repeat process tomorrow.

Hopefully without the scenic trip through baton rouge via port allen!

Academy

So i'm in academy.... and apparently, there are so many regulations about social media and my department in the state that i really can't be too specific... like talking abut anything we learn... or posting pictures.... so i will just say that it's intense. Its like being in a master's level college class for 8 hours.
We got done today, and after showering and eating and typing my notes for the day, i called my wife.

Let me just say that its hard having to say prayers with your 4 year old over the phone, and trying to explain why you didn't come home for dinner...

I haven't cried in the past 6 years, since my best friend died. I cried tonight, talking to my wife and son.

It's going to be a long 12 weeks.

On a side note, i will be blogging, but probably not a lot about academy, as i don't want to break any department regulations.

Good night, all. It's been a long day.

Biannual reunion of WNSCoT

So, when my wife and i were in college, we had a group of friends that we got together with once a week and ate dinner. A good time was had by all. We were the Wednesday Night Supper Club.

A few semesters later, our schedules shifted, and the group became the Wednesday Night Supper Club on Thursday, or WNSCoT.

We still get together about twice a year and cut up. It's good times.

Also, i finally got a smartphone again. Guess i will be posting more often....
Score!
