Curious George
I’ve been looking forward to the Curious George Movie since I heard about it. I was a huge fan of Curious George when I was a little kid, I had all of the books. Unitl I noticed this post on The Movie Weblog, I didn’t realize the official website was live.
I hope I’m still stateside when it hits theaters. Although I don’t know how I’m going to explain to the guys that I’m going to go watch an animated child’s story…
Gmail – Arrgggghhhh
In getting ready for my extended period of time away from home I pointed my main email address to a gmail account. I love the fact that gmail allows a massive amount of storage and has a good spam system, but… GIVE US A DELETE BUTTON!
Keys
It seems the topic of keys is currently going around the blog world… Matt had the post that seemed to start it, I missed Matt’s post but caught Aarons on Technosailor.
I have a lot of keys…
1. Briefcase key (I don’t even carry this briefcase around)
2. Mailbox key
3. Bike Lock key (Don’t ask me the last time I rode my bike, let alone locked it)
4. Main Condo Complex Door key
5. Actual Unit Door key
6. Aunt #1’s House key
7. Aunt #2’s House key
8. Locker key for Guard Armory
9. Car Key
10. Grandma’s House key
11. Copps Key Savings Card (I moved, don’t even shop there anymore)
12. Mobile Speed Pass ( I never got this to work right)
I guess 12 isn’t that bad. Well I guess it is if you compare it to Matt’s 4 but oh well.
I love it when I am working at various accounts for my security job and we have a boat load of keys that we don’t even use. The place I’ve been working lately has like 8 keys on the keyring we use 3.
Do less keys mean a simplier life? Personally I don’t think so. If I wanted to I could leave some of my keys at home but that would mean a trip home if I needed to stop by one of my relative’s houses. Thus making my life more complicated, right?
Yup, Thats Me!
National Guard’s 232nd Military Intelligence Company ordered to active duty
Thirty-seven soldiers of the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 232nd Military Intelligence Company are being ordered to active duty at the end of the month. Soldiers in the Madison-based unit will report on active duty Oct. 29 and report to Fort Sill, Okla., on Nov. 1. The unit will eventually deploy overseas in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan after mobilization processing and additional training at Fort Sill.
The unit received orders Sept. 23, the day after they were alerted for a possible mobilization.
With this latest mobilization, the Wisconsin Guard will have about 2,910 soldiers and airmen on active duty. Of those, approximately 1,660 are currently deployed overseas and about 1,050 others — including the military intelligence company soldiers — are eventually bound for overseas missions.
The Guard’s remaining 6,500 soldiers and airmen remain ready to provide a wide range of military support in the event of emergencies in Wisconsin or to protect against terrorist threats in the state.
I’ve had to keep this news quiet for the last couple of weeks and it sucked. I got an official sounding phone call from my section sergent on the 22nd, informing me the unit was put on alert. Then less then 24 hours he calls back saying the unit is deploying but I’m not going with. That was hard to deal with but then when I showed up to drill on the 7th, he informed me I was added and now going. A whirl wind of thoughts and emotions…
