I wrote a follow-up post about military husbands for the Milspouse blog. The first one—‘Are Male Spouses Really “Doing Fine”?’—got a pretty good response.

My latest Milspouse blog post is up. I’ve known for a long time that I needed to have a will drawn up, but, as usual, I put it off. Beyond needing a lawyer, I had no idea what was involved, and, hey, lawyers are expensive, aren’t they? After Sean was born, though, I couldn’t keep …
