I love those happy reunions. It reminds me of a prank I pulled on my family. I went off to boot camp and then hospital corp school. I was there so long after I graduated waiting on my assignment papers to come in for my nest school. When I finally got them, I was packed up and out of Great Lakes, Il. heading home via plane to Pittsburg, Pa. I just made it to the greyhound bus terminal with 15 minutes to spare, before catching the greyhound to Cumberland, MD and still not calling home, I got a taxi the last 20 miles. I dropped my seabag in the front yard and knocked on the front door. Needless to say the commotion from within was enormous when I ID'd myself. I was home for one week before heading to San Francisco.
