I missed the birth of both sons as the Air Force had me half way around the world each time. When son #1 was born I remember getting back home to that cold house in Japan and picking him up for the first time. I was wearing my Nomex flight jacket and a smelly flight suit I had been wearing for 36 hours since leaving Diego Garcia. My Marquette educated wife began yelling at me to put him down and wash up. I burst into tears immediately...

My dad was at the East German Border....they let him go back to the base in Nuremberg after he got the radio call that I had been born.  He went straight to the hospital after being out in the field for a week.  The nurses marched him right back out and told him to come back after he had taken a bath.

That's a great story about your dad. I remember being pretty excited to see my first and gave no thought to how foul I must have been. I caught a ride in the back seat of an Aardvark from Diego Garcia to Australia, then a B 52 to Guam, then a C 130 to Japan via the Philippines. I was pretty ripe by the time I got to Misawa. My wife grew up around guys and understood our unusual ways but my holding her precious baby boy smelling like a box of diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid with a dash of BO thrown in was just too much. She actually really let me have it.

I have been to many major sporting events in my life as well and attended practice round at Augusta yesterday. It ranks extremely high in my lifetime experiences and hope to do it again. Attended my 25y son who won tickets in raffle and was really, really a thrill.

My boss was in the office this morning, a little sunburned.  He basically said it was incredible.  He's never seen anything more manicured in his life.  Lynn Swann out there greeting folks (there is a joke in there somewhere), the hospitality A+, etc.  I'm envious....good for you and your son.

So they hired Lynn Swann to be an official greeter?  A bit too obvious, I should think...

I knew Rice was. I am a member of the Singapore Cricket Club. I didn't see a reciprocal with Augusta...must be a bias against Asians!
