AF ball

Jill and and I attended our very first Air Force ball last month. The setting was pretty good I suppose -- a medieval castle situated on a dolomite cliff overlooking the Italian countryside! www.hotelcastelbrando.com/en

First day

..of kindergarten!

Ferrari museum

Getting caught up on old photos.. These are from a trip we took to Bologna with Uncle Jim, Aunt Mimi and my cousin Jamie. JR was on cloud nine with all these cool cars. Better save your money kid!

Family portrait

Thank you, Air Force public affairs for this family portrait. Part of a job application.. (Only in the AF, right?) But a nice photo to have nonetheless.

How thrilled..

..does Senator John Cornyn look to be talking to me?

Arctic Challenge Exercise

Just spent the last week in Lulea, Sweden, participating in a multinational air combat exercise.
It was good to train with our European partners and it's always satisfying to take part in something that tweaks Putin's nose.
