Karen, perfect, thanks for using your web magic again.
Beth..Ida threatened to make me household gardener, bathroom cleaner and chef...so have applied for three senior public affairs jobs within the Army and Dept of Labor...DOL chief of
PA is coming down from DC to interview me (for the South Region psn based in Atlanta) at the end of the month, and have made the final cut for two Army senior PA positions (Alabama) and one here in the command I work in presently. I will take my time and if offered will select the position that makes sense for Ida and my lifestyle.
In terms of leisure time & more importantly (even tho Ida retired after
20 yrs in the Army in 2000, she still plans to work as a civilian counterterrorist analyst for a few more years) we plan to cruise, cruise and cruise some more. We have TURKEY (crossing) in November with Coffecup/her sister, et.al., and then we're on segment two of Ring of Fire in February. We are considering a cruise in Asia & a Christmas market River cruise in 2010. For a post surgery reward/incentive (had brain surgery July 17, to take out a pituitary gland tumor (benign))--all systems green--am close to 100% (running 5-6miles daily) Ida gave me a kitchen pass to join our close friends from OSLO in Munich early in Sept as we drive to the Italian Dolomites for a week of hiking, and gourmet Italian dining...
Bet you're getting excited for your upcoming discovery cruise--what port can't you wait to see?
