Must Read: THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS

Posted on by
I read this book in its entirety yesterday. It is a book I couldn’t put down. It is written through the eyes of Bruno, a 9 year old boy who is the son of a high ranking Nazi in WW2. His father moves his family from Berlin to “Out-With” after getting promoted by the “Fury”. Bruno doesn’t like it because it’s not as nice as Berlin and there is no one to play with. Then he meets a boy exactly his age from the other side of the fence. They develop a very strong friendship, which Bruno keeps secret from his family.

There’s no blood and guts in the book, but the overall picture is pretty shocking. It’s an easy read, you will finish in a couple hours. Absolute must-read.

Nice Dreams

Posted on by
Last night I slept good, and had good dreams. I dreamed I got to go back out to sea on my first ship, the USS Somers. My dream was being on the ship, out at sea, at night. I was me now, not me back then and the crew was all young, not old like me, and I didn’t know anybody. But I was walking around remembering stuff and it was really nice. It was night and there was ‘darken ship’ set and I remember the breeze and the red lights and it was really great.
I had other good dreams too but can’t remember them.
USS Somers DDG 34~1981-82

Last night we watched the movie 127 Hours. Intense movie, based on a true story. On YouTube you can find a lot of video of the real Aron Ralston including a six part series I started watching.

Yesterday I transferred all the photos from my phone to my computer. Here’s some of them.
Notice how I spelled “fone” and “fotos” in the title? Crazy, isn’t it? I’m probably the first one to come up with this original, hilarious idea! It’s Phunny!
