I am in full vacation mode with my baby bassets at Wolf Lodge swim park. I feel a little bad though. This place is definitely geared towards smaller kids, and my boys, that are of driving age, are a bit out of place. Water slides are water slides, so they are still having fun which is great. We just got here yesterday, and only enjoyed a few of the water features. Today we will be spending the whole day on the slides, trying each and every one of them out. Well… the ones we fit on anyway. I feel just a little bad that I am one of the VERY few parents whose kids are old enough to just let them roam by themselves. Most of the parents here are chasing their kids around trying to keep them from climbing the walls and escaping out the front. Not me. I told my boys to have fun, and that was it. I am here with the friends that we normally go camping with, so I go back and forth from hanging out with my boys then go watch my friends chase their kids. One of the friends has a few teens as well as a few little, so they can hang out together and do what teens do. Well… I am off to the slides! I am a bit nervous about the larger ones, but if all these tiny kids can do it, so can I.

With tens of thousands of warships idle, along with hundreds of thousands of Allied crew personnel sitting on their hands, it’s up to Admiral Perry Reynolds whether or not to send the combatants home, and mothball most of the ships. But as more and more requests for prompt Allied assistance come in from the farthest reaches of outer space (i.e. for minor incursions into sovereign territory; or others, more serious — including barbaric planetary invasions), Admiral Reynolds is compelled to introduce a new stellar over-watch program. With his own career winding down, one of his final directives will be in the formation of a special intergalactic marshaling service… Star Watch. The admiral has the perfect ship lined up for the task — the most advanced warship in the known galaxy: the mile-long Caldurian vessel — the Minian. Next… he needs to outfit the ship with a captain and crew he can trust to get this far-range venture initiated properly. Across the galaxy, young Boomer, daughter of Captain Jason Reynolds, begins her training in the ancient fighting methods of the Kahill Callan, and prepares to battle against Lord Vikor Shakrim — leader of the dreaded Sahhrain warriors. The space opera kicks into full gear. This new saga voyages through the realms of Space Opera, Space Fleet, Alien Invasion, Metaphysical Visionary, and Military Science Fiction.
