Saturday 7 November 09

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.
