Day 41-42 (Sat & Sun May 9-10, 2009)

Saturday was a nice, relaxing day.  I think I slept until 1030...fantastic!  After doing very little, aside from a light workout, some of our team members were going to make margaritas outside around dinner time.  As luck would have it, another group of Army Reservists, were also planning a little BBQ.  Forces collided, stars aligned, the heavens were appeased...in other words, we combined efforts and had a big ol' BBQ with alcohol.  


Following the BBQ, a few of us went to the LT Dan Band concert being put on for free on base.  The band is named for it's base player, Gary Sinise.  Ring a bell?  Gary Sinise is a movie and TV star from such shows as CSI: New York, Apollo 13 and probably most notably, Forrest Gump...hence the LT Dan reference.  They sang music from the 70's all the way up to contemporary.  It was great.  And, after learning that Gary and his band do free concerts for the troops and their families, and how supportive and grateful he is...I am a huge fan.  Thank you Mr. Sinise. 
Stage for the band.

Sunday...more sleeping in.  I was very lazy today.
