Chaplain J,
I received the care package today. Thanks for all the goodies. With all the wet wipes I may decide to not take a bath until I get back to Iceland. Everyone in the office has started to barter with me for various items, particularly the cashews. I’ve learned cashews and pistachios create great alliances. We’ve already toe into the oreos too.
Can you let me know if school is still in? I really appreciate the letters and drawings the kids from A.T.M sent. We’re talking about where to put all that stuff up on a board. I’d like to be able to write a letter back and mention their names.
Baghdad is a seemingly tranquil place here at the palace with people shopping at the Haji Mart and hanging out by the pool. Unfortunately the loud booms that get too close remind us that we are really more lucky than safe. So it goes. They’ll boom louder and closer before it stops. I’ve got sea (sand?) stories to tell but I won’t do it over email for OPSEC. Take care and thanks again.
Billy
P.S. – Thanks for the book My First Love and Other Disaters…I’ll put down my copy of Walden and start on this one. But the girl on the cover is a little too pretty…
