I had a friend who wanted a little vacation too, and he went to an
island. After a little while at Paris Island he went off to another
little vacation in a place called Lebanon. Bit of bad luck and someone
blew him out of his bed while he slept.. BTW, he took his "vacation" so
you could take yours and feel "at home" where ever your little heard
decides it wants' to... RIP Marine Sgt Steve... you played hard, and I
know you never wavered!

Nothing personal Andy, just sometimes snarks like that in a non-
political group, bring me nostalgic...
