		<title>God Bless Texas :-)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday, Sarah and I took the girls out to go see the Belton 4th of July parade. I haven&#8217;t seen a parade in probably 2 years. The first thing I did was teach L how to sign parade in ASL. She picked it right up. It was incredibly hot outside, and I was really glad [...]]]></description>

		<title>New address, no new news</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So nothing much has changed here. I have settled into my 9-to-5 except it is 6-to-6, day shift, 7 days a week. Some days nothing much happens, some days it is 12 hours in the incredible sun of desert Afghanistan. My lovely wife packed 5 bottles of sunscreen for me and several hats, and so [...]]]></description>

I arrived here at Camp Dwyer two days ago and got a little training but am now off on a ten day jaunt to see three different forward operating bases.

		<title>Well, I made it to Leatherneck, but still traveling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was told that Leatherneck would be my final destination, but it turns out I will be at a much smaller base. That can be good and bad, no biggie. I am going to Camp Dwyer, and leave tomorrow. My new address will be: Rushing, Steven M SWAN/WPPL FSR RCT-1 HQ Co. S6/COMM UNIT 40145 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sitting in a terminal in Ali Al Salem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have had three fights cancelled so far, one to Bastian and two to Kandahar. For now I am stuck in Kuwait waiting to get to Camp Leatherneck via military transport. Has anyone seen the Neverending Story? Remember toward the end when the Child-like Empress is pleading with Bastian to help them by making a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaving tomorrow for Kuwait</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So training went well enough. I learned more than I should have been able to about satellite stuff. I feel a bit under-qualified. This last week I have been at Blackwater qualifying with medical and such. Best part was a video introduced as “brought to you by PETA” that showed pigs (properly anesthetized) shot with [...]]]></description>

Edit: no, I don&#8217;t know why the pic is upside down. I am posting from my iPhone and will fix it as soon as I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I didn&#8217;t realize I missed about the mainland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of these things will be about the mainland, and some are Georgia specific: Parking spots are huge! I can park and hardly worry about opening my door and dinging the car next to me. Space is so precious in Hawaii that they put very little space between parking spots. I can drive and drive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please Lord, Don&#8217;t Blame Me For Rewriting the Scriptures so I Could Get a Little More Sleep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#x2019;s be realistic. The scriptures can be not very entertaining sometimes and other times they can be down right boring. Especially when you&#x2019;re a young child. As a parent you&#x2019;ve really got to amp these stories up to help get your children&#x2019;s attention. Last night Felicity was far more interested in anything else, to include [...]]]></description>

		<title>Medical and Training</title>

I got a clean bill of health at dental, but some of the other guys have to have major work done before they [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Day of Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I got up at 7am, shaved and showered and came on down to Telecommunication Systems, Inc. Once I was sure I knew where I was, I stopped at a local Waffle House to eat some breakfast. I miss the Waffle House; Denny’s is the closest we have to it in Hawaii. Not much has [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the ground in Phoenix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And I have a 3 hour layover. I am totally paranoid about being late, so I always have to be way early, pretty much everywhere. This drives Märia nuts, but she mostly puts up with me. =) I remember when my dad dropped me off for my ski trip at the church when I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the plane, headed to Phoenix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The girls are almost certainly asleep as it is now 10:49 their time. I guess that means I have been on this plane for an hour. The plane is packed. Somehow I managed to get the seat that has the only empty seat next to it. When I get there I will need to find [...]]]></description>
