Today I’m wearing Spandex.

That’s right Spandex. I just got done jogging.

Before you take your mental picture of me wearing Spandex too far, I better inform you that I’m wearing shorts over my Spandex.  Anyone that wears Spandex  as an outer layer that is not a biker or a wrestler, is either so vain you probably think this post is about you (Don’t you? Don’t  you?) or has let themselves go to such an extent they just don’t give a darn anymore.

Specifically, I’m wearing Under Armour.  I’m a big fan

Dalton, my translator/bud in Bangladesh, reports that Arifa, the garment worker I followed for the day, should be receiving a copy of  “Where Am I Wearing?” today.  I would love to be there when she sees her picture in the book.  I wish she could read it.

Who would have thought with all of the html swapping and copying and transferring and whatever else computer-types do to move a not-so pretty blog to a shiny one THAT the whole “my blog is down thing” was all me.

In the Gary Post Tribune, John Wolf, a WWII vet and minister who served in Saipan wonders if the the bloody beaches were worth it.

I almost joined the Navy ROTC in college.  I thought it would be a good way to have some adventures and see the world.  I’m not sure why I didn’t.  I think it had something to do with Jimmy Buffett and this dude that you’ve probably never heard of who had a show on the Travel Channel.

1) Swaddle = Enhanced Sleep Aid.

Sure, at a certain point it is probably illegal, but what’s so illegal about mom, dad, and baby getting a full night of sleep?  Does anyone know when the illegal point is?  Harper is busting out of her — velcro enhanced — swaddle already and starting to not sleep all night.

2) When your kid cries and you are the cause of the tears it really doesn “hurts me more than it hurts you.”
