Hey, Navy:
YM and I were talking about your homecoming over chili at Wendys and we’re thinking it’ll be darn good to see you. Please keep us up to date on the details. We got your PIR package today and we’re wanting to be there so bad. YM will remind you about the DVD only a bazillion times so be prepared for that.
Lara has a bit of a cold so we’re medicating her, and Danielle is working furiously with Katie on a video project. Next year’s Ireland trip is on everyone’s mind and Danielle tried to apply for a job today (only to find out she had to go to Reno to apply). YM suggested that I drive down to Monterey and/or the Bay Area while everyone is on the other side of the world, but I’m thinking I’ll wait a while before making any plans of that nature.
Looking at things going on around the internet:
IMDB: In a word, Warner Bros.' latest Harry Potter movie, The Goblet of Fire, was hot. Setting a record for a fall/winter release, the movie grossed an estimated $101.4 million over the weekend, which would make it the fourth biggest three-day gross in history, behind only Spider-Man, Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, and Shrek 2, all of which opened in the spring or summer. In addition, the movie opened in 19 countries, where it took in an additional $181.4 million. The figures could change significantly when actual results for Sunday are announced later today [11/21].
NEW YORK (AP) -- Matthew McConaughey has been named the "sexiest man alive" by People magazine. For the 36-year-old McConaughey, it's a clear sign that his career is in the midst of an upturn -- and that the glamour of his girlfriend, Penelope Cruz, may be rubbing off on him. "Now I've made it," he told the magazine. "Wait until you see the roles I could take after this. You're going to see my gut hanging over, plus 22 (pounds). It'll be a whole new kind of sexy!" McConaughey is the 20th "sexiest man" for People, who first bequeathed the honor to Mel Gibson in 1985.
And did you hear about this?
GREAT LAKES, Ill (NNS) -- Two Sailors are being praised for their heroic response to a fire Nov. 13 in Chicago. Seaman Recruit Lawrence Attisano, of Franklin, Pa., and Seaman Jared Ayers, of Mulvane, Kan., were the first responders to a fire that started on the 3rd floor of a downtown Chicago building at about 1:40 p.m. They saw smoke from the building while walking down the street and immediately notified the owner, who was apparently unaware of the fire. Attisano and Ayers obtained a fire extinguisher from the first floor and raced up to the third floor. They put to use the fire-fighting training they had received only weeks earlier. Both had graduated from the Navy’s Recruit Training Command on Nov. 10. “As soon as I got a hold of the fire extinguisher I took a deep breath, and everything we learned came into play,” Attisano said. “It all just clicked.”
This is one of many reasons you guys are going through what you’re going through. Go Navy.
All my love,
Air Force
