Graduation was an awe inspiring spectacle and Marc looks so happy and proud in his uniform. He is excited about what's to come but frustrated that he is on medical hold at Great Lakes for a couple of weeks. He's not entirely sure why and he doesn't want to ask for fear of opening some can of worms. I don't blame him. The government loves to find reasons to disqualify you from something! He's spending these couple of weeks escorting recruits to/from medical and legal and cleaning 'the ship' and standing watch. He said it's scut work but he'll take it.
We took him into Chicago last Saturday and froze our behinds off. It was 20 degrees below their normal and we were not prepared at all. It was drizzling rain too which was turning to stinging ice pellets in the wind. Oh joy! We went to the top of the Willis Tower and Marc went out on 'the ledge'. Crazy experience and he loved every minute of it. We went and had real Chicago style pizza afterward and, I have to say, NY has NOTHING on Chicago in pizza! That was AMAZING! It's definitely not portable but that made it more of a meal instead of a snack. I must find someplace here to get it. SO GOOD!
Anyway.....that's all for now. Nothing much else going on. I'll be leaving for Thailand and Korea on 20OCT so until then I'm going to be figuring out how to pack lightly for a 30-40 degree temperature swing!
