Long time, no write

OK, it's been awhile.
We've been real busy. The sector is flaring up a bit, as the remaining insurgents fight hard to try and remain power brokers in the area. They are failing. We are hitting them hard and the populous is overwhelmingly on our team.
In personal news, I got a few packages recently, one from my Dad and Jan, containing a dozen boxes of Girl Scout cookies. I've found the way to gain favor in the eyes of my men is less about inspiring them to succeed or challenging them to grom, but mainly giving them stuff. This is groundbreaking stuff. Napoleon said with a handful of medals he could conquer the world. I say with a dozen Girl Scout cookies, I can conquer Baghdad.
The other box was from my cousin Jen and her husband Bill. It had some snacks, a game, some pics, and a handful of Magazines. The magazines were Maxim, SI Swimsuit, and Mad. A post-it on the magazines stated the obvious "From Bill."
So Favre retired. Very, very emotional. I didn't tear up the first time I went into Lambeau, I was too drunk. But the second time I did. I think the first Packer's game I watch on TV I will cry. The Packers have been a major part of my life, and for NEARLY all of it, that has meant Favre. Oh well. Life goes on, and as long as Rodgers wins 4 games a year (Sweep the Bears and at least splits with the Vikes and Lions) I'll be happy. OK, content.
My neighbor Jenna's class is sending me a box soon with some toys for the kids here. The things I am asked for the most from the kids here are:
Pencils or pens (I think chalk might also be good)

Oops.
gotta go
