Reeling

It’s amazing how with one simple email – a mere handful of bits and bytes – one’s life can turn upside down.

Okay, enough of the dramatics. State notified me last night that they have an opening for me in the July 7 Junior Officer training class. That gives me five weeks to get my crap together and get up there.

As always, I’ll try to keep the blog going with the usual hilarious updates you’ve come to love and respect.

Life begins all over again, I suppose.
