24 November 2006, What did the pilgrims do? With Thanksgiving, you have expectations. One of which, is when you finish your Thanksgiving meal, you watch a football game. What did the pilgrims do before we had football? Watch corn grow? Anyway, Thanksgiving is over and we here on the other side of the planet have to wait until Friday, (today), to watch the games you saw after dinner. Now, very few games are very exciting when you know the outcome, so this makes it more difficult. But we manage, and time moves on.
Speaking of time, another Friday has now come and gone for us. I've been back in Afghanistan now for two months since I had leave back home, but it doesn't seem that long ago. This is good because here, time is our enemy. Waiting on everything, waiting for the next attack and waiting for the time that we come home. For most of us, we find ways of occupying our time with activities, the gym, school, sports and games. I'm doing well, and to be honest, other than missing my family, friends and the things we do back home, I don't have many wants. Most everything I need is back in Oklahoma.
There is no doubt now, sometime this next week I need to take a day off and clean this room. Mrs. Dub will tell you that when I say it's time to clean, it's probably past time and the worst has come. She has trained me over the last (wonderful) 15 years to at least throw out anything that could grow on its own, but my clutter control has never really been promising.
Well, I survived the tower duty last night and when we were replaced by the regular joes, they did seem cheerful and jolly. I guess the day off helped. This made me feel better and when I finally got to bed at 0045 hrs, I slept well. Today went good and we didn't have any problems. Be safe and have a good day.
