Happy Thanksgiving to all Friends and Family. My special thanks is being back in the states. I found a place to live last week and it is really nice. It is across the street from the beach and I can see the ocean from my living room. It even has a roof top terrace where I (finally) have room for the hammock. My roommate convinced the realtor to give us a nine month lease which really helps out since the next deployment is August. I was even able to get my household goods from the movers this week. I called on Monday morning and they brought them Monday afternoon so the place is full of boxes. Maybe by next week, things will be squared away and organized.
I flew in to Cleveland Thursday morning and had a wonderful meal cooked by Andi (okay help from Mom and Jarrell, but we know who was really in charge). Stanley even tried some leftovers. After a food induced nap, it was time for a viewing of the Christmas Story and then Phase 10 card game. I pulled through to eat some homemade Chili for dinner.
Remember our troops that are deployed over the holidays and say a special thanks for their sacrifices.

I'm glad the Key West tradition of Phase 10 lives on!!
Just wanted to tell ya that I've been keeping up with the blog, and I enjoy your journaling. It's also great to read comments from your family...and Peter.
Although I signed in under "anonymous", I was hoping that you knew that the above post was from me...Ross
Give me a call/email next time your in town.
I am excited and thankful that you are home safe. I am certain that it is jarring and bizarre to hear and see the reactions to the situation Over There, when you intimately know the men and women of many nations who are working hard for security and civility. Proud of you, Li'l Bud!
thanks
