Hi everyone,
It is freakin' warm today here at KAF. Numbers wise, it isn't any different than usual, but it feels like the sun is really beating down today. Thankfully, the nights are still relatively cool (21C).
Went for a long run on Sunday morning with Vance - did 12.5km. I was pretty tired when I was done, but happy - that's the longest I have run for a couple of years. Still going to the gym every day - was working out beside one of my clients this morning. He's a really big Newfie who is a rabid hockey fan. There was a Montreal-Boston game on the TVs in the gym and he'd let out the occasional bellow at a stupid play, scaring the heck out of me.
We're working on the plan to come home. We leave here and have 3 days of "decompression" at a place in Europe. It gives us a chance to relax a bit and get our heads back to normal before we hit Canada. Great idea, as far as I'm concerned. I'll let you know where I'm going later.
Apparently I'm changing jobs when I get home. Since there is a lot going on in the area where I was working before I deployed, the powers that be have decided to put someone into my spot in Canada and find a new spot for me once I get back to work. We'll see where they put me!!!
Other than that, not much going on. We are in the middle of a holiday here in Afghanistan called "Eid", which celebrates the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is a farily long period (3-4 weeks, I think) where Muslims aren't allowed to eat or drink while the sun is up. They do some extra prayers during the day as well. Very tough, especially when it is so hot. Eid is kind of like their Christmas, with feasts and gifts and stuff.
Got a couple of letters - thanks Mom!! I'll try to write you back soon.
