Congratulations. Now if we ever start playing games again, you can come.

We need to start playing again.  I'm just not sure when.

Yay, yay, yay!!! When you got in to the MFA program, I was happy for you, but I was sad that you were moving to California. Now we'll be able to hang out in person, rather than just restricting it to phone calls.  ;D

You deserve this and so much more--because you are totally awesome!

Just don't break your arm doing it. Not that you don't deserve pats so vigorous they could break arms, but it would just be really awkward to have to tell everyone you broke your arm patting your back.

Ok, Im gonna hijack the thread for a sec myself, just because I have been laying sorta low lately too.

I have moved, now I live in Portsmouth VA, and am assigned to Sector Hampton Roads's Prevention Dept out of Norfolk. The work mainly consists of inspecting facilities, containers, and foreign vessels for a variety of things, including terrorists, WMD's and just general safety. My wife is a little bit away in Arlington, but its only a few hours away, so Im not sure how much strain is going to be on my relationship at this point.

It looks like I get to wear many many hats here, so Im kind of thrilled to be here doing this job right now. Lots and lots of chances to advance and improve myself. Plus lots and lots of job offers already. In fact today when I went to Northrop Grumman the staff there looked me over like a piece of meat. All the security staff at these places is made of ex-military be it USCG or Navy.

Our area of responsibilty is huge... basically covering every port facility, oil terminal and chemical facility in VA with access to the water the exception of Arlington and Alexandria which we just gave to Baltimore.

So lots of GV travel.... yay...

But overall my first 2 weeks have been sweet.
