Today, like the date of my 50th birthday (12-12-12) is one of those dates that only come around once in a lifetime. 10-10-10. As of today I am 2 years 2 months and 2 days away from the big Fifty 50. I am making progress, and have been talking to lots of folks over here in Afghanistan about it. I’ve gotten a few on video to say a some kind words and will be posting some of that soon.
Today is also my grandmother's birthday. It's the first since her passing and would have been her 99th. Yes, I did call my Mom. Mamarite was a major influence in my life! I miss her, but she lived a full and worthwile life all the way up to the end. I doubt she had many regrets and I will not mourn her moving on, she was ready to go. I will always be a better man for having had her in my life.
I also did a little a little guitar picking with some of my young Navy friends. My friend Kieth video taped that too, so I may post some of it as well…I’ll have to see about that though. Anyway, this is just a quick update as it’s time for bed and I wanted to make a post on 10-10-10. Only one week left in Afghanistan: at least for this trip. God Bless.
