Well, Christmas and New Years have come and gone and I am still here in Kabul. We had our first snow today, a wet and heavy snow. It looked nice until all the mud underneath was kicked up and it all turned brown and melted into mud. I am sure that it will be all brown ice in the morning. It does look kind of nice falling though. I made it as far as Bagram Air Field this week, but our flights to Ghazni and the Polish FOB fell through and we ended up coming home on Tuesday without getting anywhere else. Oh well, thats the way it goes sometimes. I now have only three weeks left in Kabul and am really looking forward to getting back to the real world! Everyone made it home O.K from the holidays and Shorty was much relieved to find the Ducks (House and Duck Key) were still hanging around. As far as football goes, Utah finished a perfect 13-0 and showed that BCS means nothing. Denver however, well we just won't talk about being able to closeout the division for four weeks in a row and failing each week. I am kind of mad at Pat Bowlen for letting Shanahan go, I think it was a big mistake.
Thanks to everyone for all the cards and packages and I will write again soon.

Hi Jason! I am so glad you are back to your Kabul home! The news shows some real uprising in Kabul because of Israel's bombing(!?) It's too bad you didn't get to see all the palces to you were hoping to see. As far as the Utah game goes, Utah is having Ute mania! The governor even declared January 5th Utah Utes #1 Day! It was just awesome and mom, Garth and I watched the whole thing...Heather and Leonard couldn't take it so Heather watched in one bedroom where she could change channels and Leonard watched in another bedroom! Were you able to see any of it? Take care, stay safe, we love you! Mom
Hi Jason! It's too bad you didn't get to all the places you wanted to get to on your "outing" but at least you got back to Kabul safely. Did you get to see the Utah game or just hear about it? It was awesome! Mom, Garth and I watched the whole thing but Heather and Leonard just couldn't take it so Heather watched(?) it in one bedroom and Leonard watched it(?) in the other. What a great game -- especially after the pre-game show! Don't get me started..... Our Utah Governor declared January 5th Utah Utes #1 Day! Anyway, make the most of the next couple of weeks and get back to your family in safety! Take care, stay safe and we love you! Mom
