Well quite an eventful day we had. Very nice lunch with all the fixings (and shrimp cocktail to boot). It was very good but not nearly as good as home cooking.... It was different being away for the first time.....
Then things got ugly. At about 4:40pm Ali Baba dropped about 20 rockets onto the area in less than 5 minutes. Everyone was in the bunkers. Surprisingly little major damage and only very minor wounds. Luckily they can't aim very well. The DFAC (Dining facility) had to be closed so no real dinner. Thankfully it wasn't nearer to 5pm as then there would have been lots people outside and that could have been real ugly.
Enough of that.....Friday is always quiet cause its the Iraqi religious day (like our Sundays)....reduced crew and basically Chip and I cover everything while the others are off. I get Sundays.....
Oh well - Only 25.71 days till I leave for home - yeppie.
Hope everyone had a GREAT TURKEY DAY...

Hey uncle Brian! Hope you're doing well. It's getting really close now to when you can leave for a little R&R. We missed you at the wedding! I didn't take pics but both Bruce and Tina did. I'm hoping they'll post them online so we'll all be able to see them. Did Tina tell you about all of us taking shots of Grandaddy's Irish Whiskey!?
You've probably heard by now about Mac Sloan's death. Mom, Dad, and I were all in Charlottesville on Sunday for the viewing. Everyone (all the 20+) cousins send their best! They asked about you and your family. I don't know if you have seen this but here is a link to an online guest book for Mac if you would like to leave a message:

Also, here is the link to an article in the Charlottesville paper about the accident:

Hope you're doing well! I'm sure Mom told you but Jeff's graduation is May 17th so we'll be in Vegas then. Not sure what the deal is with the "family reunion." I know you're probably sick of the desert but at least this one has booze and casinos!
Much love,
Katie
