The path from enthusiasm to cynicism

<p>Bill, Bill, Bill----
why so melancholy? It’s only Tuesday! But Invictus is rather fitting, don’t you think?</p>

<p>Our mids are back in the arms of Mother B, and although the house is a bit emptier, a little less festive minus the Christmas tree, there is still a bit of the journey left ahead, bitter-sweet as it may be! Your soon-to-be Marine is safe with three hots-and-a cot, so life is still good- </p>

<p>and if I can get through THIS past Christmas, surely you can last a few months more! I mean, the Dark Ages have yet to descend! If you disappear on us, who else will remind us of the birds and Capastrano, or how many ways we can discect “I did not have sexual relations with that woman…”… I mean, who else will be a better voyour as you round that next turn? Your Capastrano birds rank right up there with flip-flops and hoo-haas and the other golden oldies of CC! </p>

<p>Come on Bill! Cheer up!!! It’s Happy Hour somewhere!!! </p>

<p>“sometimes you get what you pray for”… yup, and better hope it’s what you want and that you still want it when you get it! ;)</p>
