Super Bowl

As a life long Redskins fan, I didn’t have a dog in the fight as far as the Super bowl was concerned. Also, since the game came on at 0300 or so and the military stripped away all of the commercials, I didn’t feel very motivated to watch the game. I woke up at 0430 and did watch a bit of it as I was drinking my coffee. I was out running when I saw some flashes of light off in the distance and heard some gunfire. A few seconds later, there was one bright flash and a boom. I guess there were either some Colts fans outside the wire whooping it up or some Bears fans shooting at the Colts fans. At work things were pretty slow.
A lot of offices were at minimal staffing so guys to sleep in after the game. I’m glad that they did—the kids need a bit of home from time to time and watching the Super Bowl, eating Nachos and drinking near-beer—we’ll that makes for a nice break from the reality out here.

Hi, David
I discovered your blog yesterday (your inlaws told me about it). I read through all your postings since you arrived in Iraq...very interesting stuff. I loved the picture of you and O'Reilly! We watch him every night. We appreciate everything you and all of our military personnel are doing over there. Stay safe and I look forward to seeing things through your eyes.
