Chris’s Market Watch

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007
    Yesterday’s market action was a bit of a surprise.  I wouldn’t quite say it’s time to go short on all positions, but it certainly looks like cash is king right now!    Never forget, all you stock investors out there, if the big money is leaving stocks, it’s got to be going somewhere.  The housing [...]

Good Company

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007
    I found someone out there with more artistic talent than me who seems to agree with my opinion about MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann:  Chris Muir.

Homeward Bound

    The Ready First Combat Team has transferred authority for the fight in Ramadi to the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division.     Welcome home, soldiers! Thanks for a job well done! 

In the Fight

Sunday, February 18th, 2007
    Here’s what the squadron I normally fly with is doing. . . helping to win the war.    Me? I only managed to sandbag a local area orientation flight from RJSM last Friday.   I’ve got a little ways to go before I get to be mission-ready. 

Why I Don’t Read Newsweek

Sunday, February 18th, 2007
    I’ve tried in other places to explain some of the issues I’ve had with legacy media (what other bloggers refer to as ‘Mainstream Media’ or MSM — the larger daily newspapers, the big three TV networks, and cable TV news).  As usual, Victor Davis Hanson does a much better job rationalizing what I think.  [...]

Return to Okunakayama

Saturday, February 17th, 2007
    Christina and I hit the slopes for our anniversary today.  Christina taught a couple kids the basics of skiing while I warmed up.  I’m getting better at the black slopes, and I even got to try some powder today.  I felt like I was doing pretty well.      Christina finished her class and we [...]

Great Song

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007
    I first viewed this website a couple years ago.  Things like this always choke me up.  It’s a little more poignant now that I’ve lost friends in the war.      I wish I had the time to develop the talent to create these songs and videos.  I’ll have to be content to link to [...]

New News is Good News!

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007
    In case any of you are interested, I just ran across a new web-based news site called OneNewsNow.com.  It’s got a Christian bent to it (read "Right Wing" for those of my friends who also abhor FoxNews).  

Commanding Leads

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007
     The US Department of Defense plans to stand up a new Africa Command.  I’m guessing the Air Force component will be Air Force Africa Command (AFAFCOM).  This also means a number of new General Officer positions will be opening up.  There is no word I’ve seen as to whether these will be [...]
