The Axe

Tuesday afternoon I was told that the wing commander wanted to see me in his office at 5 PM. I had bad feelings about what we were going to be discussing and they were strengthened when I saw the vice wing commander in there with him. Sure enough, they wanted to tell me that I’d fallen victim to the Reduction In Force (RIF) and that no later than January 29 I would be separating from the Air Force. Wow, it’s still quite the shock to my system.

I have traveled quite the range of emotions, anger, hate, sadness, despair, depression, excitement, fear, etc.

Good Neighbor

On Thursday night I was outside painting the fence again when my neighbor Rich came out and asked if I wanted help.  At first I thought he was just being nice, but he kept on asking until I finally agreed.  Wow, it was really a surprise to have someone act like such a great neighbor!

He’d brought his dog Napoleon out with him and we tied him up with Parker.  They got along really well and played the entire time we painted.  It was really cool.  Parker was a slobber boy when we were done though.  :-)
