update

Nothing much new here..I ran into an old buddy from Officer Basic Course at FT Knox nearly 18 years ago...Maj Chris Emmons..he and I were recalling thie big time we had during those months at Knox together. I have joined a bible study that meets for lunch 1 X weekly...Its just about 6 of us right now...same core group we had at Ft Hood...right now studing the book of John.

I told some buddies this place is like Bill Murray in "groundhog Day'...same routine every day...not much variation at all...Ive even threatened to put on Sonny and Cher "I got you babe" on my IPOD alarm clock to wake up to every morning just to make it authentic. The weather is nice...high 80's/day...low 60's/night...

I go over to the Iraqi Security office after work every night (some friends work there) and we watch a movie after work...Saturdays is movie and wings...we go load up on takeout wings a the Messhall and come back and watch a movie on a big plasma screen in their office.

Well, other than work, not much else goes on really...I got a camoflage bike to ride while I am here..it was a giveaway that I am ressurecting at the local bike repair shop....anyway, hope everyone is well...write again later.

Not much new to report. I got a cost analyst that started working with me today...his name is Victor, hes from Nigeria and has MBA...sharp guy...he told me his job was to find cost savings in the budget, I told him "brother, your going to be busy 7 days per week over here"! I went out to a big field today where they house all of the destroyed Mig fighters and tanks left over from Saddam...I got some good pictures....I also saw an Iraqi family today...small child, mom and dad, dad had a little baby in a carrier on his back and they were tending a herd of sheep! It was interesting to see. Working 12 hrs/day...I like my job...working out the rest of the time...eating good too! Gotta run to shoft change...its almost 8pm here.
