“Well, I was enjoying your scrambling around your bed. You have the cutest butt.” Rosanna responded in a mischievous tone, hoping Solace would not...try to retaliate. “Oh, really?” Solace said, moving her hands towards Rosanna’s middle. She pounced! Because Rosanna was holding the bag she did not have her usual lightening quick advantage. Solace began to tickle her mercilessly. Rosanna laughed through her protestations and dropped the bag. She grabbed Solace’s hands in her strong ones and held. “Many, many Chinese!” replied the excited Korean officer.General Puller asked for another count and got the same answer, “Many, many, many Chinese!”“#%$@*^$@#!” swore General Puller; “put my Marine liaison officer on the radio.”In a minute, an American voice came over the air: “yes, sir.”“Lieutenant,” growled Chesty, “exactly how many Chinese you got up there”?“General, we got a whole shit load of Chinese up here”!“Thank God,” exclaimed Puller, “at least there’s someone up there who knows how. My exact words to her when she was getting dressed to go were, "Hey, it's your last week of freedom; next week, we will be married. Why don't you cut loose tonight, go wild, do something crazy?"Taylah had just looked at me at the time and screwed up her nose, and said, "Like what? I don't know what you think we are doing. We are just going on a pub crawl with my girlfriends. I'm not going out to get laid, Nick, just because I'm getting married. I certainly hope you didn't do anything stupid.

But for now, the shower, coffee and toast and my short drive in were all I could think about if I wanted to be ontime.After being out on the road for a few weeks, my first day back at the office was my favorite.
