FOB Smart at 2040 (8:40 p.m.)
Round and round we go this place is something else. Move two steps forward, if not first two steps back, and then we progress some more. Take a moment to pace yourself because the road is long, winding, and at times narrow, albeit with a little, or more, dust and troubles along the way thank most we travel elsewhere in our lives. Well, this is the place to be for me right now and I am one to go forward and prosper. Opportunities are abundant here and waiting for the right passersby to grasp them and run with them. Anyway...
Today was good. I had several missions out in the city. We looked at office buildings, and roads, and walls, and concrete work. It was a good day for construction observations. A little "noisy" this evening, but all told, a good day. We are all here and that is what counts now when we close our eyes each night.
I have a few good photographs from today... some I can show herein and some much later down the road. Stay tuned for such.
Today my beautiful wife celebrates her 37th birthday; however, as I am 11.5 hours ahead of her, I have celebrated her birthday all day in a manner fitting for the distance between us. She, my son, my family, and my friends are on my mind always. I hope she does something nice for herself today.
It is getting late in the evening here and I am tired. What with waking at 0445 this morning, leaving early, travelling a short distance with our security forces, another mission after that, and more training, briefings, and work thereafter, I suppose I earned being tired.
143, K&K.
Good night and good day.
