Maybe GamerDad should have been BicyclistDad or RunnerDad or maybe even SwimafewlapsDad. Maybe he wouldn't be PainfulLeftArmDad.

I guess that wasn't very nice, was it?

At any rate, I've decided that I will, indeed, reply to comments, but in haiku form, and only one haiku response per person. That's only fair. I mean, it would be kind of cheating if I was writing 1000-word responses to comments, wouldn't it?

I drank this TRIPLE SHOCK MOCHA. It about gave me a TRIPLE SHOCK HEART ATTACK.

Yesterday, in honor of my 88 days, I watched a movie. Pretty disappointing, for a Pacino vehicle. Understand it may not be widely released.

Also yesterday, started reading House to House. An excellent account of war, despite intermittent whinings of USMC "historical revisionism". Somehow, despite our best efforts, the Army gets all the best movies. At least recently.

It's a stunning, blow-by-blow dissection of the house-to-house combat that characterized Operation Phantom Fury in 2004. Read it immediately if you give a shit about “the troops.”
