"Are we there yet?"
Sometimes I feel like our military leaders have taken the role of parents driving a cross country trip with a backseat full of kids. Metaphorically the "kids" are reporters. "How come we haven't won the war yet?" "Did you underestimate the Iraqi military might?".

What value are these questions? What value is such speculation? I can see how it's of value to Saddam.

Leaving soon to go see another Winter Guard competition. Did I mention we are "charged" every time we go to see our child perform? Each time the charge goes up. Today it's 10 bucks each to watch Lisa for less than 4 minutes. To think I've seen her for free for all these years. Such a deal.
I may be overly optimistic, but I think this is the last competition she is in...hopefully forever. 10 bucks may be a small price to pay.
