Fact of the Day

The final battle of the Napoleonic Wars was fought today near the Belgian village of Waterloo in 1815. One of the greatest heroes of the battle was cavalry sergeant Charles Ewart of the Royal Scots Greys, who single-handedly captured a French regimental eagle standard. Buried in Manchester in 1846, Ewart's remains were later reinterred at the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle.

anyway- made it back; flight went as ok as it could. the plane was packed and we had the smaller jet so the seats were horrible and very tight and no sleep at all was possible; did watch a very sweet Japanese movie. the meal was not as good as usual, but i came prepared for that and ate what i brought on. and then i got the bus right away when i got there so i was back in the "tent" earlier than i had thought possible. nice to have no luggage, though i am not sure customs was happy with my frequent in and outs of the country. one more time to go and they won't have to worry about me anymore.

had a light lunch and a quick little nap and then went to the range and really was trying to pin down exactly what i will be working on. hit great and bad- usual pattern, but could tell i was tired. 150 balls later and some chips and i went back to the house. nothing i can say will explain exactly how disappointing it is to be back here other than to be with gail of course. but only 6 weeks to go and will try to enjoy those parts of oxford that i truly do like and probably am just tired now so it looks worse than it really is- how's that for a politically correct lie? at least here i can limit how many lies i hear mccain tell.

no run today but did walk a few miles and hit balls so i got some exercise at least.
will catch up with everything tomorrow. i do notice a different attitude within me right now and i am not sure it is a good one. time will tell.
