Today is the last day of work before we close for the holidays. Needless to say, our spirits are bright.
Yesterday's Change of Command ceremony at Stennis was really nice. The Navy has some great traditions. When a member of the platform party arrived at the stage, they blew a whistle, announced his arrival, and the band played a really lively tune. The more important the person, the longer they played. I think that would be a great greeting for one's arrival at work everyday but it might take too long. The band would play for hours for Polly and Jewel.
