Hot off the presses, from my soldier boy:

"Hello, what's happening-

"Not much new here... counting the days as always. While the exact date probably has been determined, that info is generally not announced until very shortly before departure. This has to do with Operational Security (opsec), AKA loose lips sink ships. It's more important for those actually in Iraq, but we play by the same rules. As of now they have announced a 6 day window spanning Nov. *th - *th during which we will leave. I won't be at all surprised if you find out when we fly in from the family group before I find out. In any case, your e-mail (old one i presume) is still on file to be used for this purpose. At least they say it is. I didn't give it to them... maybe you did?

"I don't really know what will be going on at the fly-in. It's safe to say it will go a LOT like the fly out... just backwards... touching speeches & a strictly scheduled "social period". & then Katie will come down for the pickup from McCoy, whenever that is. Prolly within a week. I hope so anyway. I plan to have the phone re-activated by the time we land in Bangor or Atlanta or wherever.

"The welcome home packer lunch sounds very good. I'm thinking just before or just after Thanksgiving.. right around then. Speaking of thanksgiving, I did ask Katie if she wanted to come but she hasn't given a definitive answer yet. Wheel see.

"Will talk to you later, seeya-"

:-)

Because of the opsec angle I have decided not to post the count any more...especially since I really am not sure what it is!!

Well, I'm kinda sure, but not completely.

So I'll just say "SOON!!!"

Okay, I'd even take some rain.

Well, OK...just for you. When I get some time later this week, I shall go up on the roof of my building here in the IZ and do my very secret-powerful rain dance. I don't use this power very often. Only in emergencies.

But since you've been over here all this time, waiting patiently to see water fall out of the sky, and you're such a nice guy, I shall dust off my ritual just for you. ;-)

God bless this fallen hero.
Each death saddens me.
Thanks for the ping, jackv.

Cool! Hey, let me know ehen that is so that I can be ready with my puddle jumpers and stuff. Plus, I'll do some stretches and what not to limber up beforehand.

Will it work for here from there? Maybe you need to come jump around on MY roof. (LOL...more pictures to post!)

You're so close to where I am...and yet so far. What is it - about ten miles? With all that red zone in between. LOL

The weatherman has changed his tune already...mostly sunny for Thursday now. Put on those dancing shoes!

Yeah, I heard it on 106.9 just a few minutes ago. The weathermen here are about as reliable as the ones at home.

I guess I'd better start limbering up. If you can sneak up on to Signal Hill there at Liberty, you might be able to see the rain dance. Just look in the direction of downtown. ;-)

Cheese Pizza
Traditional and comforting.
You focus on living a quality life.
You're not easily impressed with novelty.
Yet, you easily impress others.
What's Your Pizza Personality?

ELVIS? I wanna be cat woman! What is ELVIS? What does he stand for? I don't sing or swing my hips.....I don't have black hair or wear uniforms. I'm very upset.
