Bring somone special to Le Petite Auberge Restaurant & Bar. This little restaurant, with about 30 tables and a small inhouse bar, is the place to enjoy a quiet evening of delicious food, wine, and spirits in a setting that is decidedly adult. While there is no formal dress code, most patrons wear business casual and linger for a long lunch or an evening at the table over their meal and after-dinner drinks.
I was born in Fort Lee, Virginia, the son of a professional Army soldier. I attended school in several locations due to my father’s Army assignments, attending a German Catholic Kindergarten when my father served in Vietnam for two years. I graduated from Adolfo Camarillo High School in Southern California and enjoyed playing sports and surfing on the weekends! After high school, I attended the University of California Santa Barbara and was commissioned as an Infantry Officer in 1983.
“Apocalypse Now” is an epic war movie. But more than that, it is an exploration of the darkness of a man’s soul. The movie is loosely based on the book “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad, who, in 1899 used Belgian colonialism in the Congo as the backdrop to illustrate how a “civilized” man could descend into madness and brutality. The movie trades Conrad’s Belgian Congo at the turn of the 20th century for the jungles of southeast Asia where the Vietnam War was at its height in 1969. Although the venue and the epoch have changed, it is still a searing exploration of man’s inherent brutality and the darkness that inhabits the soul of mankind.

You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Have you ever considered any real freedoms? Freedoms from the opinion of others… even the opinions of yourself?
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Or rats’ feet over broken glass In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom Remember us-if at all-not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men The stuffed men.

The Isaris a river that flows through Southern Bavaria with its source being the Karwendel mountain range of the Alps. The Isar river enters Germany near Mittenwald and flows through Bad Tölz, Munich, and Landshut before reaching the Danube near Deggendorf. With 295 km length, it is among the longest rivers in Bavaria. It is Germany’s second most important tributary of the Danube.

The “6” in Isar6 in military parlance refers to the commander at the company, battalion, brigade and division level. I have commanded twice at the company level and once at the battalion level.
