Nicholle’s husband. Views my own. Nothing here is official. I am on Threads and (inactive) on the Bad Place. The animals are on Instagram at @allaboutygritte.
I’ll never not love this city.

I’ll never not love this city.
Ten years ago today, Nicholle set her sights on me from across the room of a charity casino night, and my life has never been the same since.
What a ride it’s been. I didn’t know what I was getting into back then, but I’m excited to see what our next decade together brings.

Happy 250th Birthday, @usarmy. This young gun in the maroon served in WWII and cut the cake this evening at the USARPAC Birthday Ball.

NEW: Here's your weekend read from me. I wrote about the enduring utility of typewriters!
Some people use them for fun but, as I found out, there are a surprising number of businesses around the US where typewriters are still the tool of choice for certain tasks.

'We use them every day': In some parts of the US, the clack of typewriter keys can still be heard
Computers and smartphones might be where most writing is done these days, but typewriters still have work to do in the US.

Hi. It’s late. However, I need you to know that I think the Philadelphia Eagles should sign Jason Kelse to a one day contract for the Super Bowl to beat his brother and get that ring. Give him one damn play, then let him go drink beer.

I think this might be the first non-desk/bar-side #latenightlibrary post, but I just happened to finish this and I think you should jump on it, too.

They’re here! The first (to my knowledge) official history of NIS/NCIS. Between this and Mark Harmon/SA Leon Carroll’s new books, we’re getting to explore our history in a lot more depth, and I’m loving it.

I joined AFOSI and Security Forces personnel this morning for a memorial ruck in honor of the four AFOSI special agents and two SFS defenders who were killed when their joint patrol, Hustler 6, was attacked by a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle near Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, Dec. 21, 2015.

The Wise Men: proto-Elf on the Shelf for your Christmas Crèche.

The 12 days of Christmas END WITH EPIPHANY and that is the pettiest but most passionate hill I will die on.
(Also, the wise men DO NOT GET PUT IN THE MANGER, they go on the OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM and you MOVE THEM EVERY DAY)

As we approach the holiday season, could I please remind everyone (and especially whatever corporate/marketing/giant parody accounts that have come over here) that the “Twelve Days of Christmas” begin ON CHRISTMAS DAY and not on December 1st. Please and thank you. #Christmas #TwelveDaysOfChristmas

Today was a great kickoff to the holiday season. We watched On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Diamonds are Forever, Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Hard, and the Muppet’s Christmas Carol.
I am INFUSED with, well, with the several martinis I made during the Bond movies - BUT MOSTLY the Christmas spirit.
