Good Company

This week has been one of the most stressful weeks I think I have ever had to endure as far as outside distractions. I would say being interrogated at all is bad news, but from an O-6 and an E-9 is even worse! I am glad that it is over. I was able to meet with the bishop this week to discuss the possibility of receiving a patriartical blessing. I was able to receive a recommend! Woot. I believe that I may have taken more extreme tests in this week alone than I would In a whole year at any University. However, In ending the week with all these stressful events, I found myself at the Monterey Airport to pick up a close friend of mine. Ryan. He decided to come visit me for the weekend, and the timing couldn't have been better.

We ended up eating at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Down on Cannery Row. We arrived right when our rain storm was starting to worsen. It was about 530 when we got in line to be seated. First off, we were asked where we would like to sit. Ryan asked for a booth and the person that worked there said there aren't any open. We looked around and there were plenty. The service was overall horrible. We had a server to begin with, that half way through serving us went to work at the bar so he was replaced. We weren't asked any trivia questions, nor were told how the stop/go works. When we finished our meal and were ready to head out, we had to wait an additional 15 minuted for the second server to return to us to ask if we were finished. When we left it was still raining..

After dinner, we had decided to go see a movie. It was a toss up between Green Zone and She Is Way Out Of Your League. We went with the Action! Again, we arrived just in time to find a parking space right next to the theater, which in turn, allowed us to take our seats 10 minutes before the show. Our seats were decent. The movie was excellent. I was very satisfied with the way it was directed and the role that Matt Damon played. I guess I should be researching why we are in Afghanistan and Iraq personally. It is very Interesting.
