New stuff--or not

So I'm back at old Al Asad air base for a few weeks. It will probably be a nice break from the boat, but man, I feel like I never left.

I updated all my mailing-type information in the sidebar jobbie... So if you feel like dropping me a line, or sending me snacks, you may, an it will be appreciated and/or enjoyed. I like getting mail more here than on the ship--don't ask me why. It makes no sense. Maybe because everyone here gets mail all the time, and on the ship no one does, or it's very seldom, until the very large deliveries.

Plus, I write letters if I get letters.

On a totally different note,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to my dad. He's pretty fabulous. And Shannon should call him and wish him a happy birthday, because the 'rents asked about her, and said she should call them the last time I talked to them.

I can't wait to get home for a little while and get hugged by all and sundry. But there are people here that I like, which is nice. Deployments in the airwing are always a big reunion. It's a good time.

Take care of yourselves... And thanks so much for all the prayers. I know they're keeping me safe.
