Almost my Last Post!!!!
Hi Everyone!!
Well, the title tells it all - I'm almost outta here!!! Can't say exactly when here on the blog, but it's soon!! Things have been pretty hectic here over the past couple of weeks. My replacement arrived a couple of days ago and I've been handing over my duties to him - things have went pretty smoothly overall.
Been continuing to go to the gym. I did the Terry Fox Run here (5km) last Saturday - lots of fun. I was also named the Concept2 Rower of the Week last week!! Concept2 is a company that makes rowing machines. I have one at home an there are a couple in our gym here. I've been pounding away on the one here and manged to do over 50000m one week. Well, because of that, I was named the rower of the week!! Cool, eh? I get a t-shirt and everything...
Before I forget, "Hi Mike!!". Hope you are feeling better!!
So, when I get home, I have to work 3 x 1/2 days and then I get just over a month off. No real plans for the off time yet, but I imagine they will include kicking back with a beer or two!!
Anyway, got to go. Will post again tomorrow.
Stay chilly.

Hi everyone!!
It's been a while since I've written anything, so here goes...
Things are going well. Not much time left - yay!!! For OPSEC reasons, I can't write about flights, but I'll let Kim & Mom know when I'm going to hit Canada. I intend on doing some visiting when I'm back, so be prepared!!
We are a little busy right now because people are finally realizing that the legal issues they have been holding back on getting sorted out for 9 months need to GET DONE SOON!!!! Nothing too crazy, but busy.
I have been working out like a demon. This Kandahar place is the best "fat-camp" I have ever seen. I'm down 33lbs in 3 months!! Feeling good and looking fine... Only problem is that my clothes don't fit anymore!
Did a 1/2 marathon this morning - that's 21km (13 miles) - in 1hour 49 minutes. I used to be a runner, but kinda fell off the wagon in the last few years. Here's the first shot fired in the war to get back in shape.
Things are starting to cool down - it gets down to about 10C at night and hovers around 32C during the day - not too bad. Apparently, the rainy season will start right after I leave - perfect - couldn't have planned it better!!
OK, don't ask why I am wearing a helmet covered in tin foil, while getting ready to hide under my desk - I think it should suffice to say that it's almost time to come home!!!
Take care.

Check out the newest spokesmodel for Starbucks!
The lovely ladies at the Orleans Starbucks (and the stunning Kimberly, of course) sent me some of the new Starbucks instant coffee to try. Here's a shot of me and said java out in front of Headquarters.
