and by RealSoonNow™ I mean March 2nd. I will be coming home this weekend to drop my personal belongings off, and also to attend my Uncle Paul’s funeral (hopefully the timing all works out.) Much time will be spent on the road. Anyway, if you read this – and have any intentions of seeing me before I deploy again, you might want to exercise your use of email or the phone and get in touch with me. I will try to see everyone I can, but if I can’t – we’ll just have to throw a big party when I get back and become a civilian again.
