Admittedly few substantial events have happened in recent weeks...yet I believe the most benign of human events - that is every day life - make the best fodder for en-lighting the human condition.
Being the person responsible for the movement of our units stuff, I have had the keen pleasure of arranging for our departure. Yes, I know, much time still exists between now and then, yet procrastination - the usual accomplice to most human endeavors - has laid to waste and I find the entire unit engaged in helping me out. We have prepared for movement several containers of equipment toward Bagram, where it will wait till our departure from theater.
I have found a sickness in reading as of late and am unable to stop consuming every book that I find for my kindle. I have finished Jane Eyre and am currently reading Vanity Fair along with the autobiography of Nikola Tesla. Tesla was strange by my measure, his autobiography is available for free online from several universities websites - I recommend it. Jane Eyre was one of the best novels I may have ever read - warn the curious reader, you will be trapped into a love story, not my cup of tea so I thought, but a brilliant book.
I recently installed a door bell for our CP. I used some old aircraft parts, lights and such, to make it interesting. The first few days it was used more as a "I am coming in" bell by our unit soldiers - now that the novelty has faded, it has become more useful than annoying.
I am thankful for the passage of time, for the season change here and the semi cooler days of late summer.
Please pray for all the families in our unit, that they could be close in-spite of the distance.

On the dojo wall where we work-out, there is a Chuck Norris fitness poster, somebody wanted to move it (as written on the white board) and I found the response entertaining.
