A piece of tale

Zach called yesterday. He was finally in Kuwait.

They flew from San Diego to Maine, then from Maine to Ireland, where the guys got to have an authentic Irish beer before re-boarding another plane and heading to Hungary. From there they arrived in Kuwait. He was going to fly by helicopter to Iraq today.

He's going to have some great stories to tell when he gets back.

I, on the other hand, am not living a grand adventure as of late. Mine is more a cautionary tale: "Beware descents into wild optimism. They are often followed by gargantuan screw-ups for which you have no one to blame but yourself."
