It feels great to roll on into another month. Today progressed at a steady drumbeat. I’ve some soldiers from my parent unit visiting for training. They arrived this morning from Kuwait. My team was very efficient in getting them into their billets and ready for an afternoon of training. After they had lunch we kicked off an effective training scenario that we’d been planning for the past week. Everyone seemed to be happy and learned a lot. We’ll continue the training tomorrow. My goal is to wrap up training Saturday in time for the entire team to make the 1700 showing of “Pirates of the Caribbean” at the Sustainer. Fortunately, we had a few IDF attacks today to help welcome our visitors. The AC in our office went to shit today as well so we had to swelter through the training.
My highlight of the day was probably catching up on the latest episode of Sopranos. Let me clarify, it was the latest episode to reach me. I’m behind you fans back in the states by at least two or three episodes. After I watched this latest one I’ve still got four to go.
While I was watching I consumed some St Pauli Girl non-alcoholic beer. Personally, I think that all non-alcoholic beers suck. Tony Soprano summed them up well when he described them as “less-filling, tastes like ass.” Well I will admit that the St Pauli Girl stuff is the first I’ve tried that actually resembles beer in flavor. General Order #1 is seriously hurting the beer neurons in my brain. I’ve been daydreaming of Yuengling and Shiner Bock a lot lately.
Who knows? Maybe in my absence Yuengling will expand their distribution to include Rhode Island. Now that would be something to look forward to for certain. Yuengling draft is even better than the delicious brew in bottles. The same could be said for Shiner Bock. Shit I need to stop this discussion. My mouth is watering at the thought. I need to focus. By that I mean focus on something other than beer. I’m starting to sound like Homer Simpson.
It’s hot, it’s June, and dust storms are on the way. I hope the AC gets fixed soon.
