Mail Call:
Well, the mail is still very bad here. I got a few nice things this week. First, a special thanks goes out to Jeanie Weeks for a GREAT care package. It was very tasty. Second, I got a package and a letter from Ann Henrie; both of which were sent in November. I also got a letter from Clyde and Marlene Kuhn that was sent in November. I am thankful that I got them at all.
The weather continues to be nice. February is definitely the month to visit Iraq. I am hoping to come home in a couple months, but there is always the chance that I will be extended, because my ability to draft PowerPoint is WAY better than the average guy's.
I am getting ready to go outside and see if I can catch part of the lunar eclipse that is tonight.
Maybe the Iraqis will see it as a sign that they all just need to get along. Hmmm, I doubt it.
Per chance that I should forget: Happy St. David's Day (March 1st) and Happy St. Patrick's Day. These are two of the many holidays that I have missed since being here. I will have to celebrate last year's and this year's St. Patty's Days.

Birthday and such:
Well, since my last post, I've had a birthday. I am now 32 years old, and don't feel a year over 31. It was really a pretty good birthday, in that I had a bunch of people either send cards, send emails, or post via Myspace. Oh, and I can't forget those who posted messages on the Frogtails forum. Speaking of them, I would like to send a special thanks to Diane for the care package that she sent me. The peanut butter Softbatch cookies went over especially well. I would also like to thank Kathy Stone. She has sent a few packages now, and each has been very nice. The last one had some small blankets which will be handy as it is now about 37 degrees out (F). Thanks again to all for the birthday greetings. Oh, I also got a timely birthday present/care package from Andy and Kelly Nichols, thank you very much. The jerky is a Godsend.

Letters from "home":
I got a package of letters from the Martin Luther King Elementary School in Utica, NY today. They were very nice U.S. flags that had been colored by the children. On the back of each page was a short letter. Utica, NY is (was) the hometown of the 414th Civil Affairs Battalion, my current unit. It is nice that someone from there has shared my information with one of the local elementary schools.
