Natalia's Daddy: Three Camels In The Cold.

January 14, 2013

Three Camels In The Cold.

The cold front did hit hours later. However not much snow with this storm, but easy to clean. I was unsure how this storm would land. In the end it didn't deliver much snow at all but it did deliver very cold temperatures.

Drill weekend over as well as my sailor of the quarter board. I didn't do well as I figured. It is simply a "dog and pony show". After all the requests for an evaluation on my work and skills it always comes down to physical appearance in a uniform. I can honestly say I am one of the very few whom actually increase and affect medical readiness for the reserve center. That is simply not based on that as many other simply do not contribute as much to the reserve center and the mobilization process. But I hope this is the last time I am put through this. I do know I am appreciated. Just not the type to "kiss butt", say what people want to hear or jump when told.

The past few days with Natalia have been great as always and as usual she rather stay at home. We celebrated "Los Reyes Magos" (Three Wise Men) and again she received presents from the three kings and the camels didn't leave a mess behind. They left her a memory game, a puzzle set as well as binoculars so when she gets older we can go out and look at birds and the awesome scenery up here. Daddy played much in her kitchen and cooked a few meals as well. Didn't go outside to play as the temperatures were under 20 degrees much of the days.

Watched Dredd and found the movie entertaining. A better adaptation to the Dredd universe. I think what made it better was that Dredd never took his helmet off thus creating that action dark feel.

Decided to start reading Anasi Boys by Neil Gaiman since Stephen King's Wizard And Glass has been dragging for me. I will finish the Darktower story but needed a change of scenery. Also just read that Stephen King's Under The Dome story will be a TV series this summer. It will be in the feel of the Walking Dead. I liked the book and look forward to the TV adaptation of the story.
