I usually blog first thing in the morning, but I have opened up a new post about a billion times today and haven’t been able to come up with a thing. In the face of sorrow, nothing really seems all that important, interesting or funny. All I can think of […]
I have lost any urge I had to blog today. I found out today that a guy I once dated passed away. More than that, he was a fellow soldier and a really great guy. Russ was a recruiter in my hometown and I met him not long after I […]
The countdown begins Well, Week 1 of the deployment is now over. He is in Afghanistan, but not at his final destination yet. I am going to assume that no news is good news since I haven't heard from him since right after he got there, which is totally normal. […]

The Drama of Deployment Well, where do I start?! Corey was supposed to deploy for Afghanistan on December 29th, but it didn’t happen. The Friday before, he was in the emergency room with a massive, dehabilitating migraine and a fever of almost 103°. Mindful of his deployment, they pumped him […]
