I have a guy that I worked with at E&Y who sends me emails to this day. I probably said 10 words to the man in the 5 years we were there (he worked in the same group, just in a different area). He would send me the funniest, rauchiest emails ever.

Hope your son keeps his virus to himself. I used to be a volunteer firefighter, so I've come upon a few pretty grizzly scenes, but never involving people I knew, and it was still hard for me to handle. That must have been a gut wrenching experience for him.

But that apparently that includes 'clean up duty'; when a chopper goes down, he has to 'clean up' the mess. The chopper hit an electrical wire and went down in flames. Both pilots were burned beyond recognition. He had just talked to the pilots 15 minutes before.

I was just trying to catch up.<br /><br />And no, my stepson is not home for good. He ships back out on the 30th at 4:00am. :( His next stop will probably be Lisa G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02909155560510148815noreply@blogger.com
