That about summarizes my life right now. Got back late last night. Full day of work today. Doing stuff tonight. Life stuff: laundry, exercise, etc. Work stuff: paying bills, email follow-ups to things from this week, filing receipts. A large part of life is just spent running your life.

We are in ACU's (see left half of pic above). International delegates are all in class A uniforms. Gotta tell 'em to knock it off, they're making us look bad.

Obviously I'm at a military medical conference. A friend, who is recovering from surgery, emailed something about "I'm still battling fatigue," I read it as something about "Battle Fatigue." Not sure if that's dyslexia or preoccupation.

Conference is okay. Note to self: in future, miss introductory plenary session. The Army plenary session had a lot of history about the Army Medical Department and about the Lewis and Clark expedition, which was interesting. More meatier stuff tomorrow.

Army stuff: Part of Fri and Sat were spent at my unit doing SRP (Soldier Readiness Processing) - part making sure my records were up-to-date, and part annual health assessment (not a full physical exam, just some key parts). Then went to the pistol range with one of my subordinate units. I must modestly point out that I was the best shot there. *chuckle.*
Family stuff: WWC is in VLOG - Village Light Opera Guild, and long-standing (79 years?) theater group. Each year they do one Gilbert and Sullivan, and one other operetta. Since there were only so many G&S (13), they've done them all too many times, and have started doing varients. This fall is Starship Pinafore, which is H.M.S. Pinafore meets Startrek. Helps if you like both G&S and SciFi, aka are a big nerd. Guilty. (I'm just a big nerd who can shoot straight). Also got to spend some time with WWC, Dad, a cousin, and some Army buddies. All told, a good evening.
As I write this, am back in St. Louis (stop laughing Marli) for AMSUS (Assoc of Mil Surgeons of US) conference. I go every few years. My recently-former boss is the honorary chairman, so made the decision to go when he was my still-is-my-boss. He's a good dude, and I really should go every few years just to keep my hand in.

Romance is non-existant. There is infatuation. There is lust. There is illusion. Love and sex are both bait in the trap of reproduction laid for us by evolution.
