It's been a busy week here. I was running around all week getting finishing touches done on my commissioning package, which included an interview with a few officers from the air station. That interview didn't go quite so well as I hoped. It actually made me really frustrated that I was being grilled by a panel of officers because I want to become an officer, when some schmuck who just graduates from college would be greeted with open arms into officerdom. What's worse is that I still have to do another interview board with my higher command. Ugh.I did manage to get this Friday as a day off for my birthday. 
It doesn't have to be the exact day, just in your birth month you get a day off. So I took it off and Yogurl and I went to the San Diego Zoo for my birthday. It was great! We saw all sorts of crazy animals. I also convinced Yogurl to take the skyfari ride with me, which was really fun. 
It takes you really high over the top of the whole park. You get to look down on all the animals in their cages from above. It was way cool. One of the best parts was at one of the shows they put on during the day, an owl flew right past us. I mean like 3 feet from us. I did my best to capture it in this video clip.I wasn't ready for him, but I did my best to get it. At the start of the video you see him at the bottom of the screen. Yogurl's favorite part was seeing a tree kangaroo with a baby in its pouch. The little baby stuck its head out and tried to swipe at some food in the feeding tray. It was really cute. 
The best part was that another kangaroo was sitting down examining his own clearly male genitalia, and a grown lady looking at him asked if he had a baby in his pouch too. The Galapagos Tortoise in this picture is nearly 150 years old and weighs 700 pounds.
We saw a zoo worker coming out and giving him a glucosamine pill to help his arthritis. I guess he probably isn't as spry as when he was only 90.

You know, those activities where they get together and complain about men and eat desserts. Anyway, she was very stressed out, but it went just fine, of course. She is also excited that she got a new water bottle. It is aluminum with a resin coated interior so that there is no leaching of harmful chemicals into her drinking water. She is pretty excited to have it.
I guess that is it.
