I've known for quite some time that I'm married to a pretty amazing fellow, but there are things about him that make me think that he might be a superhero with a secret identity. I mean, he's got the build for a superhero. He's smokin' hot! But some things have happened lately to make me wonder...
For instance, when he was training to go to Iraq, Captain I-Couldn't-Hit-the-Broadside-of-a-Barn-With-My-Gun just happened to hit the live grenade in the dummy's pocket and blow the entire thing up. Coincidence? I doubt it.
And just this last week he was almost hit by a car. And when I mean almost, I really mean almost! He was taking his P.T. (physical training) test that the Army gives on a regular basis to make sure that its soldiers aren't fat. The part of the test he was taking requires the soldiers to run three miles in a certain amount of time and they run down closed-off streets on post. As he was running down the street at a full run he happened to notice a Honda Odyssey coming approaching an intersection out of the corner of his eye, but didn't really give it much thought seeing as the road was closed off. As we was going through the intersection he just happened to turn his head and saw that the Odyssey was right on top of him! Having little time to think, and without breaking his stride, he put one hand on top of the car's hood and did a Heisman leap right over the hood of the car and kept on running! Further on down the street he turned back and saw the rear guard just yelling at the driver of the minivan, and realized that everyone thought that he had been hit. When they went to see if he was all right he just said that he was and didn't make too big of a deal out of it. I think he was just trying to hide the fact that he has super reflexes.
Am I reaching? Probably. Is it cool to think you might be married to a superhero? Holy cow, YES!
