Been a while...

Well, folks, it's been a while. Let me sum up the past month or so - Eat, sleep, work, rinse, repeat.

That's not to say that there hasn't been some breaks in the monotony. For example, Toby Keith came and visited. Unfortunately, I was off duty when he arrived and was misinformed about his schedule while he was in the area (I had planned to see him while he was in our work area and I arrived about 2 hours after he left).



We had a conference with the Iraqi JAGs. Left me tell you folks, if there is anything more horrifying than a roomful of lawyers, it's a roomful of JAGs from several countries and a laptop with powerpoint slides.

To tell the truth, I'm pretty proud of how we did with this conference. My office and I coordinated travel, meals, on-site transportation, presentations, translations, and living arrangements. As you might be able to tell by the photo, we had a lot of folks to keep track of. It was like herding cats half the time.

Finally, I've been on R&R leave. I went home to see Mrs. USGP and the pup. It's been more fun than mortal man should be allowed. After nine months in the desert, it was nice to come back to where it was green and see my family.

So, that's about it, boys and girls. I'll be posting more often, I hope! :)
