2006 in Review
At the beginning of 2006 I made three New Year’s Resolutions, it is now time to see how I did:
1. Stay Alive - Accomplished!
This one ended up being fairly easy. My job was inside the wire at one of the largest, safest, bases in Afghanistan.
2. Learn Spanish - Nope!
The past year I learned a lot of things but Spanish wasn’t one of them. I did pick up a few words in Pashto though.
3. Get in Shape - Nope!
Eating three meals a day, getting numerous care packages filled with goodies, working mostly behind a desk, and my dislike of breathing in crap while running all led to the failure of this resolution.
Doesn’t look like I did too good this year, maybe 2007 will be better!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Afghanistan! We have had snow falling since Christmas Eve, there is a light blanket over everything, and spirits are high (for the most part). Hopefully you and your families have an enjoyable, memorable Christmas.
