2011-03-29T17:40:00.003-04:00

I had a new theme suggested to me while in DC last week - 'city skylines from a hotel balcony'. Awesome as that is, I think I will make it a little broader and say 'Your city' or 'Your previous City' or your TDY, R & R or whatever else city'. Directions to the side!

As a footnote - if you are raising your FS child in, say a small African country with heavy British, you should make sure they do not use the word 'rubber' instead of 'eraser' when entering FCPS in grade 7. Don't ask how I know this....
