Well, I won't get to see it because I'm still stuck out in The Hinterlands on the other side of the world.

But I will get to see this in just a little over two weeks...live, up close and personal. :-)

Allegra, I'm so happy that you are coming home. Looks like you won't make it by Christmas, but close. I wish all of our men and women could be home for Christmas. Their sacrifice involves so many things we take for granted. There are no thanks that will suffice. God love you all and bless you with every blessing.

I sure do miss my cats, Mexican food and cold beer...

In that order? I sure can find many more uses for beer than Mexican food - eh? (I have a dog - no real reason to worry about cats much...)

Updated pix! Get home soon and safe! Safe and soon works, too! Have someone videotape this special for you! You won't regret it! Please, stay in touch...
