Scares me to death. 
1:10pm
Oh dear.  Hugs, Philip.  More hugs.  Damn, I wish I could do more…
5:02pm
In the “counting your blessings’ and “snagged from the headlines” departments, I’m so glad you’re not on the USS Porter, or that Ward guy who faked his own death to get away from his mistress and was relieved of duty for it!  Whee! 
6:20pm Phil
yeah no shit!

Wandering

7:44am Phil
It was a lot of fun.  Lots to see.  Spent 6 hours wandering about, bought a few things.
Went back to a friends for pizza and beer. Good day.
7:52am
Great! How’s home/office after being away?

4:05 pm 
I skipped work today – my car needed an oil change and new headlamp bulb.  I was petrified that they’d find something else, but it only came to $53 thank goodness!  We hung out at the library while we waited.  Then we went to a barbecue place for a quick lunch – $6.49 specials!  Then we camped out a new frozen yogurt place that has free wifi, chatted with project pals who popped in.  
Redbones Barbecue Restaurant

Curing Creepy Dude

Year 2 – Week 52
Wednesday, August 8, 2012
8:46am
Oooh! I’ve been longing for lobster.  So glad one of us could get some.
Have a great Wednesday, kid.
9:32am
Here’s a long but important article about changing the culture of our social groups to prevent acceptance of men who attack women.  Thought it’d cheer you that it’s on Facebook and generating discussion in the civilian world.  http://captainawkward.com/2012/08/07/322-323-my-friend-group-has-a-case-of-the-creepy-dude-how-do-we-clear-that-up/#more-3734
#322 & #323 “My friend group has a case of the Creepy Dude. How do we clear that up?”

9:38am
Even the comments are good!  The idea (in a comment) that stood out was teaching women a hand sign to make, like L for loser, that’d alert their friends to gather around and get the guy to back off and know his behavior won’t be tolerated, help the group protect each other.
10:13am Phil
Wow! Scary but awesome.
11:40am
Maybe if the civilian culture shifts, it will be easier when they go into the military.
2:10pm Phil
It is not going to shift. Hollywood glamorizes it, music does.  thats what makes this so hard.
2:24pm
Are you finding anything that makes a difference?
8:21 pm Phil 
Yes.  Empower bystanders.
9:57 pm Phil
[him drinking from a huge glass]
Mucho Tequila
9:58 pm Phil 
Last night. Fish Tacos of course.
10:50pm
Are you sloshed and frisky?
I am home alone, thinking of your skin again!
12:09am
Sweet dreams, kid.  Sleep well.
And safe travels tomorrow!
12:17am Phil
Enjoying a cigar.
Anxious to get back to work and to be home.
