Desert includes petite samples of creme brulee, lemon tarts, fruit tarts and strawberry Napoleons during Easter lunch at our home in Plano on Sunday, April 8, 2012.
If y'all haven't guessed, I'm forcing myself to catch up on old files this year. Some of these folders literally contain thousands of images to cull, edit, tone and (sometimes) caption before I make the slideshows.
Additionally, I'm still shooting assignments for newspapers, magazines and businesses while editing and publishing as many as three books each month. I also have two other major projects (unrelated to PJ) in the works.
Once I catch up, I'll start digging through my archive. As noted in December, I got a negative scanner and have several million images on the shelf.
Consequently, I have plenty of images to present in the future. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience.

"OPFOR BRIEFING" by Patrick Farrell, Fort Irwin, California 1988
*** Polar Bears, Attention ***
This post is for former soldiers of A Co. 6/31st Infantry and/or A Co. 1/52nd Infantry (32 Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment OPFOR infantry) stationed at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California who served honorably during the 1980s (177th Armored Brigade).
A reunion is planned for Sept. 6-9, 2012. We will rally in Las Vegas and travel to Ft. Irwin via vans on Sept. 7, 2012 for a guided tour of the new facilities, tip a drink in Barstow to our fallen brothers and return to Las Vegas that evening.
Even if you can't attend the reunion, we'd like you to join our Facebook group and share your experiences. Please contact either Mark M. Hancock or Geoff Cottrell via Facebook to be added to the group.
