As my family is a Christian, we don't swear. but I do have some "expletives" I use when I need one. Here's my list. Oh my giddy aunt (which shall henceforth be referred to in this blog as OMGA): I found this one is a book by Brian Jacques and it stuck! I'm guessing it's a play on "Oh my sainted aunt." I use this one when something is really awe-inspiring. "OMGA, look at the size of that elephant!" Though I must admit, ...

It's been awhile and I just came off nine workdays in a row--called off what would have been day 10. Been searching the brain cells for (to me) strange but interesting war stories of my life. Past couple of days Jenny has been demanding her time on the stage. She's famous to me for four events. Event #1: Terry S. was dorm chief for the 321st Civil Engineering Squadron and a friend. He was the type that would do anything for you and consider it a pleasure. He was ...
