instead of punch-bug
we play punch-three to a moped
I am beating my driver 4-3

p.s. moving to new base shortly, but unsure when we'll be down there for good. It looks like we'll be bouncing back and forth for awhile. I LOVE my job....
p.p.s. btw, I hate my job

long days
Still working long days, but I think I can get to this site from work now using the Arabic portal homepage...
Looks like Tiger will need to stage a massive comeback or I will lose a bet with my Father-in-law. That could cost me dearly, I would have to pay for green fees next time we go golfing.
On the plus side I won a 25 cent bet with the BDE CSM over the existence of the word "Pixilated." He used to work at Websters (true story) and said no such word. He said there was a word that was similar that meant crazy (he was right) but I told him it applied to digitalization of an image. I was right.
Yes!!

Still very busy
OK, first off, I can't believe how little time I have for myself currently. I am trying to make more time and I have a few ideas, but suffice to say I am very busy. I have internet in my office, but it won't allow me access to this site, so I can't update it. I think what I'll do is write journal entries at that computer and then once a week get down to the computer lab and post them all.
A few good things about my job. First, I travel all around the BDE sector so I've seen a bunch of friends from Carson and even a few from Huachuca. Second, I get to watch the live video feeds from a bunch of aircraft, so when we see bad guys launching rockets or putting in IEDs I get to watch our retaliation. It is a VERY satisfying feeling....
Finally everyone openly feels for me. Whether it's pity or pointing and laughing, I know people feel bad for me...
So I got that going for me....
which is nice....
Anyways, the Masters is coming up and I'm going on a limb and picking Tiger Woods. Only because he has a daughter named "Sam" too.
Anyone remember that scene in "Cool Hand Luke" where "Lucille" is washing her car? We had a CBS reporter here the last two days....and with an Australian accent. I had some great conversations with her photographer on everything from the war to football. I felt bad for him since everyone was fawning on the hot blond with the aussie accent. He was really cool. Not that she wasn't, but it was clear she knew what she was doing and she seemed to like it.
We should be moving to another base within a month and I'll have internet in my room there. That will enable me to keep up with this better, and since the new base is much smaller I'll feel more comfortable being out of the office for an hour or so at a time.
OK, gotta run, I'll post more as soon as I can.
