Like a Well-Rehearsed Ballet
I’ve seen it several times, and still the movement of a missile convoy across the plains of North Dakota amazes me. The movement of each vehicle in the convoy almost seems choreographed, and I am sure they are. I had just left the main gate at Minot Air Force Base when the action began. Ahead […]

When we arrived at the hotel on schedule, nobody else was there. The following morning people started to trickle in, but overall, the conference was poorly attended.The venue for the […]
Cold Adjustment
Weird how 0-10 degrees feels pretty good after a spell of below zero temperatures and “dangerous” wind chills. I call it a North Dakota heat wave. A bit much perhaps, but after a cold snap of several days like what was experienced throughout the state recently, a dose of warmer weather sure seems agreeable. Crazy […]

There’s No Pause Button: The Worst Advice I Ever Got
The first time the I got the worst advice of my life, I was sitting in a bland meeting room at Whiting Naval Air Station, in Milton, FL. I was fresh out of college, new to town, and had been married a whopping three months. I knew nothing about being a military spouse, and to […]
I’m From Around Here- And It’s Cold!
My Thursday started with a trip to the Minot AFB. I had several appointments, and hey, I’m used to this cold weather, right? As I approached the base I was able to watch a B 52 take off. The smoke generated by the takeoff on this -18 degree day was amazing. Quickly my mind slipped […]
