Love your informational profile page. I've always wondered how to pronounce some of those words!

Hope your son has gotten back home. My nephew was automatically reupped until January 2004.

My son is now a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps Reserves. He is assigned to drive a HumVee outfitted as a rescure ambulance (ala Black Hawk Down). Last week was pretty difficult as his second anthrax shot produced a painful siege of gingivitis. He lost 7 lbs before getting it under control with antibiotics and Peridex mouthwash. One more anthrax shot and he is deployable. He's almost finished with his sophomore year in pursuit of a degree in astrophyics. We'll see what the next few weeks brings. If he gets an Iraqi vacation, completion of his degree will be set back almost 2 years.

I have a short business trip scheduled in March. It will be the first time I've seen my son in almost a year.
