Marisa the Kissa, The Suz, Cool Sean, and Breast Implants (mostly unrelated)

This is a picture of Marisa the Kissa and I. She is pretty much the coolest girl from the Philipines I've ever known, and in case you're wondering I've known many cool Philipine girls, so it's not like the bar wasn't set all that high. JK! She really likes my Mother, who we affectionately refer to as The Suz (think snooze with out the n). In fact, there are rumors of an upcoming shout out in Marisa's blog to the Suz. Stay posted.

And be sure to check tomorrow for pictures of Sean's upcoming birthday party, which is gonna be cool in a way I can't even describe.

And then there is this, which is completely unrelated to anything so far:

Being the dutiful Army soldier I am, duty compells me to make note of this story. The phrase, Be All You Can Be takes on new meaning. But the 21st century catch phrase, An Army of One, should perhaps be changed to, ahem, An Army of Two.

The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free -- something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills.

"Anyone wearing a uniform is eligible," Dr. Bob Lyons, chief of plastic surgery at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio told the magazine, which said soldiers needed the approval of their commanding officers to get the time off.

Between 2000 and 2003, military doctors performed 496 breast enlargements and 1,361 liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents, the magazine said.
