23rd Century Corpsman

Finished reading Charon's Claw and found it very entertaining full of action from the first pages. Nice to see Salvatore back on track. Started to read Star Corpsman: Bloodstar, an actual physical book. Yes, one where I have to flip pages. It is about  Corpsman in the far future and written by Ian Douglas (pseudonym), a Corpsman himself. So far the book is a good read and is very true to what a Corpsman does.

Drill weekend went rather well with a very small crew. A couple of new guys and a returnee from Afghanistan was doing a flex drill and was a welcomed addition. Next month we will be back to our big unit and hear stories from the weapons familiarization training.

Took Natalia to the bookstore as usual and started to look at Halloween costumes and decorations. As usual very nice time with her I can already see her mom putting things in her head but I can't control that. In time she will start to know more and speak for herself. Already starting to pull out my Fall and Halloween decorations and starting to put them throughout the house. Soon the smells of Fall will be caressing my home. Also must say that lately I have been attracted by owls. Decorations of owls. Hey! Don't judge. To add to my interests, I pulled over Sunday night on my way home and caught a nice lightning show.

Anthony Zahn has finished his second Paralympics. Much happened to him mentally as well as physically before the trip to London but he went and represented. Anthony has commented on his Road Race on Cycling Illustrated as well as on his ITT. Below is his Kilo event in London.
