I downpoured all night last night. For the first time since I bought it, I opened my umbrella and to my dismay - saw how little "Full Size" meant. It was a mini umbrella - bought for it's compact size..and compact it was. It was still nice to have though. Kept the rain from hitting my face at least. I went to Muay Thai and kickboxing last night. It was a small group at class which was expected... Mike stayed home and started "The Suffering" over again on his XBox. He has some wireless speakers set up in his bedroom now (Christmas present) so he had the full effect with his game. He seems to have plans to pimp out his room. His next idea is to buy enough rugs that his room is ultimately carpeted. It would be nice - but pointless. The room is hard to keep dust free. There are so many cracks that you can't keep the place clean. He would have to get a good vacuum cleaner if he carpeted... We'll see.

Everything is always rush rush lately. It's great having the day go by so quickly. Tim is definitely getting into 'short timer' mode. He's leaving in 20 days and will be transferring to Thailand to work out of home from there. I talked to Pete last night about his feelings on working here so far. He seems to like it. He said he enjoys the work and the paycheck of course..and Baghdad is a lot tamer than he expected. He said he's going to buy his closest friends tickets to Japan for his first R&R....Man ;) How lucky :)

Alright. - Time to finish up and go home!

Adios.
