Something odd about the Army

Well, there's a lot that's odd about it. But for whatever reason, there are several guys who are married to Army Docs/Nurses who stay home too. I know of 4 others who are here right now. I'm not sure why but Army Medicine seems to attract that combo.

Our pediatrician's husband stays home with their three kids. I've been told they don't have a TV. I'm not real keen on letting kids watch too much TV but there are times when it's a life saver. And in the fall, I need it to get my college football fix. Jennifer knows that, on Saturdays, from early September until late November, I will be planted in front of the TV, with the remote blazing across 4-5 channels, watching as much college football as I can. I've been fortunate the past three years. I only missed two Texas games on TV. One was against North Texas in 2004, the other was against Sam Houston State in 2006. In other words, I really didn't miss anything. But I'm not giving up my TV. Let me rephrase that... Ellie wont let me give up "her" TV.
