It was worth a shot...

After a few half-hearted attempts at getting out of my obligation to the Army back in June, I pretty much resigned myself to serving out my time...until I received a care package from Adam yesterday.

The card (pictured here) reads: "I figured this card was gay enough to get you sent home. In case it's not I've put some stuff in here to help ease your burden."

And I did, in fact, open it right in front of my commanding officer, just as Adam (sagely) suggested.

So did it work? Nope...still here until the end of the year. Ah well...maybe next time certain wedding related photos get included? Something to think about...


Thanks, Adam--I really, really, really appreciated the package. I've been humming "The Power of Love" to myself for the past 2 days...

"Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor."

Have you tried wearing women's clothes ala Maxwell Klinger? It didn't get him out of the Army, but it DID get him a regular appearance on Hollywood Squares, which must pay ok or at least have a good post-shooting buffet.

If those photos are needed, they are available, electronically. Simply say the word, my friend...

I haven't tried the Klinger route, Tom, but trust me, it's in the playbook...

Megan, hold that thought.
