Going to Georgia

National Guard Specialist James Raymond assembles a M249 Saw light machine gun during a timed competition for the open house for Company E, 624th Brigade Support Battalion at the Joliet Armory on Sunday May 2nd, 2010.


Tomorrow I am heading with Amanda to Georgia to visit her mother. I am pretty excited for it. On the way there, we are stopping to visit The Creationist Museum. Don't worry, I will get my picture taken riding a dinosaur. In Atlanta we have a pretty open schedule that may or may not include a visit to Six Flags and the Coca-Cola Factory. On the way back, we will be stopping to visit her brother and his lady friend. It shall be good times.

In a couple of weeks the Flyers season starts up. I can't wait to start shooting for them. In other sports news, I am pretty sure the Cubs have yet to be above .500 this year. Hopefully that will change, as they will be playing some pretty sub-par teams soon. The Hawks are tied at 1 game each to the Canucks, whom they play in Vancouver tonight. Should be a good game, the Hawks need to step up their gameplay though.

I will try to update this more often, but I have not really been in the mood to write lately for some reason. Perhaps that will change. Here is a picture I took last weekend. I had a few good assignments last week, I love the rush of getting a assignment that has potential for greatness. I may put up a picture from another assignment on the website, if interested.

ps. The new Hold Steady rules. I think they are currently the band for me that can do no wrong. It is so goooooooood. I am waiting for them to announce a Chicago tour date. Rumor has it that they are going to be added to the Gaslight Anthem HoB show, but nothing official yet. Seeing those two bands together at one show would be the equivalent of seeing Bruce Springsteen live, I am pretty sure.

Good day.
