Moving On

My time in Groton is nearing the end (thankfully). Not many memories that I will look back on favorably. The Submarine Command Course was challenging and frustrating. It is a necessary event, I suppose. I am glad it is done.

Next stop is in Newport, RI for two weeks of leadership training. After that I am home for a couple of weeks and then on to San Diego to report to the USS Topeka as XO. I am looking forward to this chapter of my career and hoping it turns out well. Anyone that finds themselves in the San Diego area - give me a call. I won't have a house or anything like that, but we can get dinner or something.

I spent Thanksgiving at home and it was great. Got to engage in relatively thoughtless activities like cooking and such. It was nice to see the family again. I am really looking forward to spending Christmas at home. This is my favorite time of year.

Take care.
