Work, work, work...earning your tax dollars!

-
It's been a couple weeks since I last posted so I wanted to get a message up so everyone knows I'm still around and doing okay.  Work has been very hectic the last few weeks.  I am definitely gainfully employed. 

This week our Strategy, Plans and Programs Directorate hosted its annual Senegal Theater Security Cooperation Conference.  Six senior defense officials from Senegal's military traveled up to Stuttgart for a week-long conference.  The week was capped off with the visit of Lt. Gen. Abdoulaye Fall, chief of defense for the Senegalese Armed Forces.  He is the first African chief of defense to visit the U.S. Africa Command headquarters - a pretty big deal for the command.  You can see photos and story on the command's website.

There's also some videos on our YouTube page and photos on our Flickr site.  The command's other social network sites are Facebook, Twitter, and the WordPress blog.  Those are a great way to keep up with what the command is doing in Africa if you are interested in checking them out.

One thing that has had me hopping this week and stressed is a short-notice trip...my first trip to Africa.  Keep an eye on my blog as I will definitely post some pictures and reflections on my trip.  I've also got a USO trip this weekend (weather permitting) to Munich and Dachau Concentration Camp.  We aren't getting nearly the amount of snow as the Eastern United States but it has been snowing the last two days and more is expected.

Is it Spring yet?

The Letter I Never Wrote

A draft of this blog post has been sitting in my unpublished queue for many years now. You'll see that the book I start the post with is one I read in 2020. This post is about the death of my mother's oldest sister, my Aunt Almeda.   I noticed that death, grief, and illness were themes in some of my reading in 2023. I read John Gunther's Death Be Not Proud, Laurel Braitman's What Looks Like Bravery , Elizabeth Alexander's The Light of the World , Terry Tempest Williams' Refuge , Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking , and Suleika Jaouad's Between Two Kingdoms .   Recently I've found a lot of creative inspiration from Suleika Jaouad. There is a documentary on Netflix right now called American Symphony and she recently did a nearly 2-hour-long interview with Rich Roll for his podcast . I would strongly recommend both, as well as her book.  I got the feeling that now might be the time to complete this post. So, here it is.   *** The last book I r

Walking in History...Visiting Normandy during the D-Day Anniversary

This is probably a blog I should do in two posts but I'm going to try and do it in one.  I'll try to minimize my words and let the photos tell the story. Over World War II's D-Day anniversary, Tom and I traveled to Normandy on a 3-day USO tour.  It was a whirlwind, jam-packed trip that maximized every moment of what were 13 to 14 hour-long days.  I had been looking forward to the trip for months and believe that visiting that historic site during the anniversary is a trip of a lifetime.   In two-and-a-half days we visited three of the D-Day invasion beaches (Gold, Omaha and Utah); visited the American and the German cemeteries; visited Point du Hoc and Saint-Mere-Eglise; went to the Airborne Museum (although we didn't stay long because of the crowds) and the Museum of the Battle of Normandy (which is a VERY good museum); we saw the Longues-sur-Mer Gun Battery and concluded the visit at Pegasus Bridge.  If you've ever seen the movie "The Longest Day" it

The Joys of Nature Journaling

Last month I went to a daylong Introduction to Nature Journaling workshop led by Roseann Beggy Hanson of Exploring Overland and hosted at the Amerind Museum . I knew nothing about nature journaling ahead of the class. It just sounded like something that might complement my own personal journaling and the House Journal I've been keeping since we moved into the new house in February 2023.  In my House Journal I record seasonal observations from Dalrymple Ranch, as my girlfriend Sydney calls our place. Since I walk the pups 2-3 times a day, I notice when a type of wildlfower first appears or when a particular cactus blooms. I also try to note when we have snow or a big rain storm. And while I don't do it as regularly, I do record some wildlife observations too. Thanks to keeping my journal last year I learned that there is an order in which our cacti tend to bloom. Hedgehogs bloom before the prickly pear. Cholla bloom after the prickly pear have started and then barrel cactus
