Tour of Duty

Hey family - do these faces look familiar??

What if I gave you some hints? Baker, Purcell, Anderson (Zeke), Goldman,

McKay, Johnson, Ruiz, Taylor and Horn

Just wanted my family to know that they should all be extremely jealous of me today. This morning I volunteered at Ben's school. (Side note - he has been real upset that the kids lately have been telling him he is a liar. He told them he's magic and his dad is magic. They don't believe him. I got to tell them the truth about Ben and his dad today. Those kids were eating out of my hands this morning as I described different tricks Ben and dad can do. Now I'm crossing my fingers we have no more tears about mean kids calling him a liar.) A neighbor stopped me on my way out and asked if I could help her with math. Then the babysitter (Wonder Woman Lucinda) said I could do errands or whatever and come late to get the kids after bus pickup. That gave me an extra hour. So I came home to do a little math with my buddy, but she was at school when I got home. Now the part that will make my family wish they were in my living room with me. I'm paying bills and stuff for my "free time" but the up side is that I have Tour of Duty playing. I got a Netflix subscription for my birthday last year and ordered the entire first season on DVD. It's awesome. Nostalgic. Tour of Duty was the best show growing up. It stopped my family in its tracks and we all watched together. It was on Tuesday nights. I remember when my mom helped with the youth at the church on Tuesday nights and had to miss it. That may be what put us over the edge into getting an old hand me down VCR from my grandparents. (My kids won't ever know what a VCR is!!) The most important duty we had those nights was to make sure we hit record at the right time so Mom could watch when she got home. More important than homework or anything. Then we'd watch the same night, even though it meant we went to bed late on a school night. Tour of Duty is probably also what made me fall in love with war movies. I'll take a good, quality war movie any day over all other types of films. Don't you wish you were watching Tour of Duty with me right now?? If you were here, I might even let you pay my bills.
