You hear that Elizabeth? I’m coming to join you honey

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin —  A 52-year-old Milwaukee-area man has been accused of faking heart attacks to avoid paying restaurant bills and cab fares.

Police say the Waukesha man took a cab to a mall Monday and pretended to have a heart attack. The cab driver left unpaid.

Authorities say the man then ran up a $23 bill when he had a steak dinner at a restaurant. He again pretended to have a heart attack.

This time the fire department took him to a hospital. A doctor there recognized the man as having pulled the same stunt in the past few weeks.

He was charged Thursday with defrauding a restaurant as a habitual criminal. He could get up to nine months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

[4mom]

During the most recent "double xp" weekend for COD 4 one of our members shared with us that their mother was dying from a 3 year battle with cancer.  While he left to make arrangements with hospice and be with his family during this trying time the clan took it upon themselves to wear a tag of "4mom" in honor of this member's mother for that entire weekend.  I cannot begin to say how proud I was of the clan to see a few dozen clan members sporting the same tag and what it represented.  Members from throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland all coming together for someone they have never met.  Even the Timmies....who were all too ready to rip on the tag...backed off when one of us was tired of ignoring the them and explained what it represented.  

I know I am a few weeks late in posting this but since I had a few minutes I wanted to thank the Pork Chop Platoon for this wonderful display of support.    I am certainly proud to be associated with this great group of people.

Am I waiting for the inevitable?

9/25/07 is right around the corner! 

Man, I am afraid of heights.....

I took my family down in to the city this past weekend as I had promised my daughter that I would take her to the top of the Empire State Building before school started.  It was a beautiful day with great visibility.  I could see Madison Square Garden and the Statue of Liberty...very cool.  Then I looked straight down....jeeeeeeeez.  I freaked.  I couldn't even hold the camera over the edge of the building to take the picture.  Looking over the horizon I was fine but I had never realized how freaked I would get.  Perhaps it is a matter of getting old as I have always felt more vulnerable since becoming a father.  Very weird. 

Anyway...I was bored and looking for a new avatar and found the following picture.

Somehow I think I could get over my fear while flying in this thing.  Tell me this would not look cool flying over your town.
