Beyond - Legends Snowy, Snowy Night - Wedge?s Diary/Journal for the 2008 Diary challenge

4 Jun

"What do you mean, we don't have any left? There were at least a dozen here a couple of minutes ago."

"Like I said, Boss, we don't have any left. None. They're all gone. Hobbie, Tycho, and I took care of them all with a little help from the rest of the Rogues."

"But I just got here. Out of a total of thirty-six, you couldn't even save one for me?"

"There wasn't time, Wedge. And it's not my fault you over slept. Next time listen to me when I tell you it's time to get up and try to drag your sorry body out of bed." Wes' voice was tinged with humor.

Wedge contemplated Wes' words before he spoke again, "Next time you wont think it's so funny when you slip something into my drink that makes me as sick as a womprat all night, Wes."

"Well, you do have to admit, Wedge, it was kinda funny," Wes paused, "Until Tycho made me clean up the mess in the 'fresher you made."

Wedge suppressed the urge to grin before he continued returning to the original topic of conversation, "But Wes, didn't Tycho tell you, you were suppose to save at least one TIE for me to vape?"

I have some good news to share: A new Corellian has been born into the galaxy - My granddaughter Elizabeth was born to my daughter Amanda on 4 June 2008 - she weighed in at 6 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches long. Below is an email from with a link from my mom of her baptism if anyone is interested in seeing my new - and only - grandchild.

You can see the pictures of Elizabeth ?s Baptism, which was last Sunday 8 June; she was four days old. The baptism took place at Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church in Phoenix . The ceremony began with the Exorcism in the vestibule of the Church followed by the anointing with oil in the rear of the church. We then moved into the baptistery where the actual baptism with water took place. After the baptism, the priest did the Blessing of a Woman after Childbirth and of Her Child he then placed Elizabeth on the altar and Amanda read the prayers to consecrate Elizabeth to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It was a very traditional and beautiful ceremony. Marcia, our daughter and Elizabeth ?s great aunt was the Godmother and Michael, Amanda?s brother and Elizabeth ?s uncle was the Godfather. However, Michael could not get leave to come home for the baptism, S/Sgt. Lucas Cotto was his proxy; had to keep it in the family - the bigger Marine Corps family and ours. Elizabeth will be the first female Commandant of the Marine Corps. She already has the lungs to be a great Drill Instructor.
