Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

Congrats…

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Sergeant John Crist (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on November 26, 1869 in Arizona. His citation reads:

Gallantry in action.

Sergeant Benjamin C. Criswell (US Army) received his first Medal of Honor for his actions on June 25, 1876 at Little Big Horn River, Montana. His citation reads:

Rescued the body of Lt. Hodgson from within the enemy's lines; brought up ammunition and encouraged the men in the most exposed positions under heavy fire.

Captain Henry H. Crocker (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on October 19, 1864 at Cedar Creek, Virginia. His citation reads:

Voluntarily led a charge, which resulted in the capture of 14 prisoners and in which he himself was wounded.




It pains me to say this, but Congrats to loooooooooooooong-time Summerville High School Football Coach John McKissick for winning the Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year Award. As my gift to him, I will refrain from asking what players Summerville signed this past Wednesday on “National Signing Day”.

To answer your question… No, we will not be picking baseball games on this blog. Even I don’t have time to keep up with that.

A big Thank You to my Uncle George and Aunt Yvonne who came up last night to take me and the family out to eat last night.  I would like to think of me letting them take us out to eat as an early birthday gift to Aunt Yvonne.  Thanks!


The I’m just sayin… Kid Show of the Week

Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS): That’s right… not every show highlighted on here will be cartoons or “traditional” kid shows. Sometimes you have to think outside of the box when deciding what shows to watch with your children. My girls love this show and I feel it has really taught them a lot of useful “life skills”. This is a show that I have been watching since day 1 (which came as an episode in the J*A*G series on April 22, 2003). This is a crime/drama series that revolves around a team of NCIS special agents who conduct criminal investigations involving the US Navy and Marine Corps. The team is headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, DC and is led by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (played by the great Mark Harmon). Gibbs’s team is composed of Special Agent and Senior Field Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (my favorite character, played by Michael Weatherly), Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), and Special Agent (former Mossad liaison officer) Ziva David (who is HOT… The Wife doesn’t like her… played by Cote de Pablo), who replaced Caitlin "Kate" Todd (Sasha Alexander) when she was shot and killed at the end of Season 2. The team is assisted in their investigations by Chief Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), his assistant Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen), who replaced Gerald Jackson (Pancho Demmings), and Forensic Specialist Abigail "Abby" Sciuto (Pauley Perrette). The show airs on CBS at 8:00pm on Tuesdays. Re-runs can be found at various times on USA. You can also buy DVDs of previous seasons just about anywhere that sells DVDs. If you must know, my favorite episodes are:

7x01 “Truth or Consequences”

5x07 “Requiem”

2x22 “SWAK”

2x07 “Call of Silence”

8x22 “Baltimore”

3x09 “Frame-Up”

2x23 “Twilight”

8x23 “Swan Song”

6x02 “Agent Afloat”

3x08 “Under Covers”

7x02 “Reunion”

1x19 “Dead Man Talking”

6x25 “Aliyah”

4x01 “Shalom”

7x24 “Rule Fifty-One”
