Quicky Update

Seeing as reliving my vacation has to be boring to my gentle readers, I will quit with the rehash. Here are the few key points:
1. Ex-President Clinton saw fit to interrupt my key moments of relaxation by visiting the Island for a few rounds of golf. Although I didn't know it at the time we passed by and saw "his" jet parked at the little private airport on Bohicket Road. I remember my aunt claiming sardonically "nice fancy jet you have there." When we found out whose it was the next day, I was semi-irked, figuring that my freakin' NYS tax dollars probably paid for his little golfing spree. Must be nice to just fly around the country on a whim to go play a few rounds... bastard…
2. Around the same day, a military test plane crashed a mile away from where we were staying. Cousin M and I were walking down the beach when the retrieval choppers flew over head. I wish I had my camera. The news said that both pilots lived through the accident, but I think that there was a third military person on the plane, because not long after, I found a solider washed up on the beach, needing medical attention. His name - Joe... at least that is all he can remember. He and I bonded instantly, as I nursed him back to health. (I actually just smacked him around until he regained consciousness.) Anyway, he and I watched out for each other the entire time. He guarded me against BOUSes. (Bugs of Unusual Size) and I gave him food, water and a place to sleep. (Seriously, earlier I was dive bombed by the world’s largest bee. It scared the crap out of me…)

Anyway, without any further ado, allow me to please introduce to everyone my newest hero – Joe!

3. I also took in a "Ghosts Of Charleston" walking tour, which was a bust, but more on that later. I have a dinner to make.

Does your hubster know about Joe? We can all appreciate everything Joe has done for the country, against the likes of Cobra Commander and Destro, but really, is it worth your marriage!?! Oh the humanity, the placticity!

Ok girl, I was reading that story and I was thinking "I don't remember hearing about a plane wreck or a soldier washing ashore" and then the name hit me... G.I. Joe *smacked my head*

Your funny =)
I enjoyed that.

As for Clinton spending your tax dollars - what polotician doesn't spend our money on their own fun/needs/wants? They're all guilty and don't even get me started on the two princeses who should be getting their educations but are playing more than studying. Gawd rich kids drive me crazy!
