I imagine that sending Monsters via the mail is no different that anything else. However, I would further imagine that the cost might be prohibitive. Tennis still stinks. I did see the highlights of the French Open as I skipped through the channels earlier this evening. I just don't think that it is all that interesting. Yes, the Williams' sisters are ousted once again from the French Open. It might be all part of some American scam whereby we just don't like the French so we (Americans) don't play well on the clay.
Today was paperwork day. I spent a ridiculous amount of time writing reports that everyone has to have and everyone's boss is waiting on me to read. Somehow I doubt that is the case. It is hard to get excited when everything is the most important thing on the plate. I think that I have done well to this point attitude wise; however, today I felt myself slipping. I'll admit that I am getting tired. At several instances, I keep wanting to insert some utterly sarcastic and equally ridiculous comment to see if the reader actually catches my drift. Upon reflection, I decide against it b/c explaining it would be too much of a hassle. A keen sense of humor isn't something that most packed.
I can't wait to get my break from all the fun that the sand has to offer. It will be nice to get back to the states. It is amazing what being in a place like Iraq will do for ones perspective. We think nothing of plumbing and cold water. Those two commodities are simply just under appreciated. Can you imagine living w/out those things? Just think how miserable we all were during Katrina. Now recalibrate when that type of living is good living. If you are able, then now you can say that you know what it is like to be in Iraq. The heat really isn't that big of a factor b/c there is nothing that you can do about it and your body really does get used to it. No wonder they all wear sandals.
Hopefully, tomorrow is just another lazy day in the sun. If only, I too, could have validated Spanish ... then I could insert a clever ditty.

Who can forget the idyllic electricity free days following Hurricane Katrina? Thankfully we didn't have any rodents running around as you have experienced in Iraq unless the dead squirrel that floated up from the depths of the murky pool counts. Iraq must be horrendous. No doubt about that!
Yes, sadly, all the American boys came home after the first round. The Williams sisters? - who cares? - I don't watch women's tennis. Perhaps I should send you a tennis racquet. You can practice on the rocky sands of Iraq and pretend you're on the clay courts of Roland Garros. OK, ENOUGH! The French Open lasts another week and I'm out of comments, inane or otherwise.
Stay safe and hang in there Geoff. We're all thinking of you. mil
we are very proud of all ya'll. keep up the good work! i will be sending some golf balls soon.
