SemesterGrade

Four days without the "blog"? What the hey Gary. Let me explain; between driving/working/driving/working(I think you get the point) exhaustion kind of took over(nucleus of a business). A blog takes commitment just like the mission I'm on, and you have, as followers, have committed to support me. I wish I could put this out there on a more timely basis, as in the beginning, but serving customers always seems to take priority this time of year. That said, my daughter said to me, "you have to take care of you first". This being the 37th year, that is a tough one to revert to. Short story time;
I watched the Whitney Houston/Bobby Brown story Mon. night(check it out). Man, could I relate to her, as far as her controlling demons(hers being much more toxic than mine). She being the "nucleus" of her business(hers being Huge in comparison), drove her deeper and deeper into a, "I just want to be alone and away from all of it". 
I feel that way at times, and alcohol is my venue/ride. It is a destructive, mind altering "legal" drug, and it does NOT do what I designed it to do when I choose to use it. I know(experience). And add to all that, me being a people person, I seem to always have that need to have some kind of an audience to entertain. And being a stay at home kind of a guy, just does not fill that bill either/either/or. Stop whining Gary, and enjoy your freedom from your old demons. Right.
Now to get to that post title meaning. I have given myself a B+(I'm the teacher). Now I have always been a C+ kind of a guy, so at this point in my march, I'm happy. Till we meet again, I bid adieu to you. Sorry, I couldn't resist the humor.

  1. I would like to thank the U.S. Army War College for agreeing to my request for sabbatical leave in order to write this book. I am particularly grateful to Professor Douglas Lovelace and Dr. Retro Jordans,Steven Metz of the Strategic Studies Institute for encouraging me to undertake this study and supporting my request to be given the research rime to do so. I would also like to thank Major General Robert M. Williams, the Commandant of the U.S. Army War College, and the U.S. Army War College Title 10 Board under the leadership of Dean Bill Johnson for supporting my request to move forward on this project. I must also express my appreciation to my editor at Pracger, Steve Catalano, for friendly and helpful advice on this project. "I hroughout this process, feedback on my ideas was always vital to whatever success I may have been able to achieve in producing this manuscript.

    I am correspondingly especially grateful to Mary J. Pelusi, Professor David S. Sorenson of the U.S. Air War College, Dr. Norman Cigar, and Sarah E. Womer, for useful and insightful comments on earlier versions of the chapters of this book. I owe Mary a particular debt for a number of useful suggestions and ideas throughout the life of this project. I also need to mention that during numerous trips to Jordan throughout my career, Cheap Jordan Shoes,I have been created with great kindness and openness by Jordanian friends and hosts and more recently by a number of members of the U.S. Army and Defense attache corps. I have further been fortunate enough to interact with a number of senior Jordanian and other Arab studenrs ar rhe U.S. Army War College who were always willing to share their special insight with me.

    I will always consider myself lucky that Jordanians are interested in political topics and always willing to speak to me about them. Despite the significance of this help, all mistakes in this work of fact, omission, interpretation, and speculation are of course entirely my own. jordan releases,I should further thank the U.S. Army War College for its policies of academic freedom and note that the views expressed in this hook are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the policy or position of the Department of the Army, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. government.
