May 31

End of a long month. Nearly 5 full weeks this month. Lots happened. Let's recap.

Finished SLP case and year 1 of the SLP. Sister had her baby - both are fine. Decent month at work. Training has been going well. Saw Spiderman 3 and 26 Weeks Later both disappointed . Half way through "Partners in Command". Saw some friends have not seen in a while. Finally got my XBOX 360 and finished Gears of War on hardcore and Lost Planet on Normal.

Partners In Command shapes up to be another classic along the lines of The Clinton Wars and Supreme Conflict. Another highly recommended read. Now I know that Churchill insisted that the allies attack North Africa first, that the allies really feared the Germans actually invading mainland US and that actually remained a theoretical possibility and that only the US and Britain had any real say in the war. Canadian and Polish influence was inconsequential. Britain dismissed Canada in the war yet we still pay homage to the Queen. Ignorance or lack of choice?

I noticed several historical accounts of partnerships. John and Bobby Kennedy and Nixon and Kissinger. Perhaps those will be next on the read list.

Gym today was busy. Did not really push myself hard but stayed for roughly 1 hour 45 minutes. Decent session and pump.

New month is here - new goals.
