Good afternoon, Allegra.

Are things calming down yet?

Thank you, Kevin, for your service to our country.
Prayers for your safety as you prepare for your mission.

Good (wee hours of the morning there?), Kathy! What a cute little Astros bear.

We've been getting quiet days and turbulent days here. Unfortunately, today is one of those days where the bad guys are somewhat busy around Baghdad. We're hearing a lot of alerts for suspicious things around town, but I haven't gotten any data on actual incidents yet.

It's all going to work, though. ;-)
