Holiday Weekend

We are wrapping up a great holiday weekend here in Miami. My parents (Jerry and Marilynn) are visiting from Tennessee, Calvin had most of the weekend off from work and the weather was spectacular. Only wish was that Cassie could have been here, but she had a great time in NYC with friends at the Thanksgiving Parade and sightseeing.

As good as this weekend was I tend towards the melancholy on November 29th as it is the anniversary of a particularly rough day we had in Iraq back in 2005. Add to that the fact that a friend and former subordinate wounded in Afghanistan a couple of weeks ago is fighting for his life today at the Bethesda Medical Center. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

But as for us, we are off to brunch on the beach and some NFL action this afternoon. Go Redskins!!
