I got a package from Kathy in Alaska. It was really nice, lots of stuff and some great jazz and classical cds. There is a nice picture of a lady without a stitch on in front of a fireplace on one of the cds, and the guys all appreciated that. The idea that you need a fireplace is one that I will have to reacquaint myself with. We will have to put the jazz on when I get home, it is really nice. The Lemonade blew up, but we recovered almost everything. I passed the treats around and all the boys loved them. The whole care package thing has kind of dried up, but that is ok since we are gone shortly (we hope) but it makes the ones we get very special.
USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Julius Caesar: The Gallic Wars ~ September 16, 2003 Hiya babe greetings from the sandbox, websense let me in tonight. So, you want me to babysit? As long as the tip at the end of the evening is good. ;-) Every once in awhile I can log on, so you better be careful!
Please tell all the FReepers thanks for the support. We are all anxious to get home, but we know that the mission comes first. I can't speak for everyone, but morale here is good, and any complaints we have are for internal consumption only, and tempered by the knowledge that it could be a lot worse. You put several thousand folks in this environment and there are going to be a few with more mouth than judgement. We read the news reports about the malcontents and get a good laugh out of it.
The weather is cooling down, and at night it is actually chilly. There is no thermometer out here that I know of, but I guess it hits the low eighties.
Hope to see you and the boys soon. I know that plans can change out here, but it should not be too much longer. I think about you all the time, and I am very proud of the job you do with our sons. I love you.
From M0sby and our entire
