So much for my vacation ... I'm back in the posting business - everyone can rejoice. Yeah right. I spent the day sleeping (although not consecutively). Too bad for me.
To my surprise, the Padres won when I didn't write. Now that is what I am talking about. The NL West is as competitive as ever, and taking 2 of 3 from the Giants was a good start. The true test will be when the Friars start play against the stinkin' Dodgers this week. The snakes and rox aren't far off in the distance.
Great two days in the mail realm. I can't tell you how wonderful mail is and I want to thank everyone for thinking of me and the rest of the American forces out here. Some really positive stuff has been happening in Fallujah the past month and half. It is important to me that ya'll know about it - even though the American mainstream media chooses not to report such events. It really is too bad. My point being - the care packages from home remind the young Sailors and Marines that there efforts aren't remiss among the people back home.
And now to the much deserved thank you's:
Courtney - Well done and thank you. I am excited to watch the movie - believe it or not - I've never heard of it. George Clooney - who's he?
Amber and John - very cool - the letters from the Deale Kids is really neat. I'll be sure to follow up with an appropriate written response. Too bad, the kids are out for the summer. I am excited to witness first hand all the upgrades to the casa - exciting times.
Dad - as always, you come off the top rope with cool and exciting gifts. Now if I can just figure out how correctly hit the "birdie balls" - trust me, it is a long work in progress. I somehow doubt, that upon my return, I'll be able to match your skills on the course. Once can only hope.
Mom - 20 pounds of beef jerky? Holy cow - I think that I now have enough to bribe the entire MWF-W population. Thank you very much and I am glad to learn that the summer school ordeal is over. No one needs hassles.
Time is unfortunately short right now. More to follow: thanks again to everyone!

These Birdie Ball's really make a cool sound...I think like a mortar. So be careful!!
Let's see; birdie balls, birdie balls, what are birdie balls, and how many can you fit into a care package? If they're hummingbirdie balls quite a few. How about bluebirdie balls, or blackbirdie balls, or cowbirdie balls? I imagine size does matter.
Geoff, just wanted to let you know I'm back on the reservation. Hopefully, package from Mel and I will be there soon. Love the blog. I'm just a pog these days, too and am still laughing from your flaming anti-grunt post of a couple weeks ago. S/F...
