Not that I’m counting or anything. It’s also been almost 3 days since I’ve spoken to him. But I’m not counting that either.

The last time I spoke to him, he had landed in the Middle East and was preparing to convoy to his final destination. I don’t know when or if the convoy has left and I don’t know where he’s going.

He did say the flight there was good. They stopped in Shannon, Ireland for a couple hours and actually let everyone off the plane. Of course, being the beer snob he is, he just had to find a bar and grab a good beer. No doubt a kind you can’t find in the United Stated.

He says it’s hot there. And sandy. I’m wondering if he expected anything different. It is the desert after all.
