Back at work after an awesome Labor Day weekend up in the Bay Area visiting good friends. Spent good time with datsun and her new little family. Her little monkey is adorable and it was great to meet the guy.
Had a lot of fun hanging out with her and her partner and the extended family, watching goofy movies, watching lil dude, and just generally...

Morning run in the fog shrouded hills, an unrushed shower and pot of hot coffee on returning. Settling down to a good book. My weekend is starting off pretty well so far!

LOL...i totally read that wrong the first time I thought you wrote...had some POT. LOL. Note to self...stop using my phone to log onto SG and just use my desk top. I can't see anything on my phone.

Ahhhh . . . that sounds pretty awesome.
I usually run at 6am, and lately it's been dark when I start out. The days are getting shorter.
But it's usually starting to get lighter as I return home.
What are you reading? I'm on the 2nd Song of Ice and Fire book, and I'm still loving the series.

Back at Pendleton, enjoying the life. I've eaten all kinds of fast food (but also gone for early morning, fog-shrouded, runs in the hills around base) and slept in a real bed and all that for a couple days now. It's bliss. Dealing with all the administrative junk that goes with being back and that's ok. Surreal to go from Afghanistan to Kyrgyzstan to California...

Welcome back!

What they said ^^^. Welcome back!
Ok...been more than a while since I updated this. We've been keeping pretty damn busy, pushing through this final stretch. Working in the training department office has been some fun and a lot of head ache, but if all the stuff I set up continues to run, then I'll be happy. The Italians are a daily pain in the ass, but we're all working toward...

Right on. That's what I like to hear.

Yea, I've got two boards, clearing on post housing, I have two classes I have to do, renee my registration on my truck, get my new place set up, and I have to re-do my security clearance ....plus airborne school coming up in September.
given the history, I find it entirely appropriate that I am putting on body armor and a helmet and grabbing my loaded rifle....to go visit the dentist:
"home" again. made the convoy trip up to Camp Stone near Herat City...got to hang out for a couple of days...ate some unhealthily delicious food...went to a coffee shop at 10pm...slept in late...and went to get a tooth...

I won't feel so bad about my upcoming trip to the dentist now.

Well sounds like you had a decent time back...somewhat. Beat the food was awesome. I can't wait to eat a real meal.

Yep, nothing assures frustration better than cooperative operations. You stay sane and safe.

I came home from my trip to your letter & postcard.
Thank you so much! I am hoping to see the boys soon. I miss them terribly, almost as much as I miss you. There's a ridiculous amount of love for you here in NYC; can't wait until you're back and can celebrate.
I'm still waiting on my friend to send me some of the thousands of photos he took during our trip. He works long hours and doesn't have much time to sort through them, but I can't wait to see what he came up with.

Last night we continued the epic journey of what else we can cook over the campfire in the backyard with a chicken pot pie. We covered the dutch oven in coals. It was so delicious.
