Believe it or not, another new post

Again, it has been a long time since I have written. I could go through all the usual excuses, but it really comes down to internet problems…Since my last post, not a whole lot has changed. I am still here in beautiful downtown Kabul and still working for a living. Thanksgiving has passed and we were treated to a “traditional” Thanksgiving dinner with Turkey, potato cake type things, gravy, and ham. We did get real collard greens though which made the whole meal! A very small group of people did try to ruin our Thanksgiving, but only made some more work for us and ruined the day for some of their fellow countrymen instead. We have been busy here but as winter descends upon the country, we are hoping thing will quiet down a bit!!

Tonight is the Army/Navy game and there has been some level of rivalry amongst the large population from both groups. We all know however that Navy will be destroying Army 45-3. Speaking of sports, the schizophrenic Denver Broncos are at the top in the AFC West and will hopefully wrap up the division this week or next. I am kind of surprised, but am hopeful they can pull things together and finish the season with double digit wins and the division!

Christmas is a little over two weeks away and my time here in paradise will be over shortly thereafter! I would like to thank everyone for the support I have received during my time here! This has been a very interesting experience and it really makes me think how spoiled we all are. This country has been in the midst of war for the better part of 1200 years and if you have not had a chance to look at www.quqnoos.com yet, I highly recommend looking at it and seeing how people live here!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Your Navy v. Army was soooo close, final score: Navy 34 Army 0! That's seven straight years!
