Hee! I knew you'd come through with appropriate quotes. I'll ask him if any were underlined, or which chapter specifically was open.
He changed rooms with someone and is now in "Hershey Amusements," which frankly isn't any less scatological.
It's the US Army War College. It's a Masters program, usually only for colonels and lt. colonels as preparation for becoming generals, but two years ago they opened it up to 4 State officers of equivalent rank (DH is a Lt. Colonel). Not sure what the Army's goal is, but DH's goal is to simultaneously get a Master's degree to prepare for his second career when he retires in 6 years, and to represent the Diplomacy Option to our uniformed brothers, promoting the idea that there are strategic options other than bombing the crap out of people.
The first goal seems to be going better than the second goal. Actually, the professors are on board, but the other students have no use for anyone non-miltary.
It actually sounds fascinating, if only we lived in a time where war was just a theoretical area of study.

I exhibit no surprise. Still, I'll be rooting for his goal #2 (and of course for goal #1, simultaneously).
You really should, because I make really really GOOD chili. According to both British and American consumers.
I have faith in Fay's ability to do anything she says she does well. Also I always put cocoa in my chili, and people who use envelopes of chili seasoning mix do too. In fact, I originally got the idea to put cocoa in my chili by reading the ingredients of one of those packets. Then when I lived in Arizona I learned that traditionally, and by traditionally I mean Aztec tradition, chocolate goes with chili for a very spicy combination. Making chocolate a sugary thing was a European idea.
I also add cocoa to my homemade spagetti sauce. It adds a rich depth that I really, really like. And so do most of the people who try it.
It takes me about an hour to drive to Geelong.
So? Geelong, little dogie.
Can't we all just Geelong?
nods emphatically.
Cocoa isn't just for mole, it can give real depth and oomph to chili and indeed to other similar things. (Also adds a nice note to sweet potato and black bean stew or soup, with cumin and chili and cinnamon.) And good pre-mixed chili sauce or seasoning usually includes cocoa.
sticks out tongue at doubters.
Just got back from seeing 1776.
Ohh, -t, where? I crewed a production of it at CCCT (Contra Costa Community Theater) years ago.
I'm awake. I'm at work. That's about all I got.
Oh, wait.
I find it surprising that you're so eager as you're the one with the MOST to worry about. IJS.
But, but.....
Innocent, I say, innocent.
Good morning!
I have the doctor appt. for 3:00. Aidan's off to summer school. and I'm marginally caught up with things (or pretending, anyway). Woot! I should go do the dishes.
Innocent, I say, innocent.
consider yourself Inigo'ed, sweetie.
eta: Morning, Deena!
So, today is the day I told my landlord she could start showing the apartment. I also told her she had to give us 24-48 hours notice. How much you wanna bet she shows up either with potential tenants or to take pictures today?
Aren't you up a little early, Perkins?
