Packages!

Had a busy week, but got a breather now. I could use a day to sleep – its’ been a month since I had a day off. But last night was good, as we got mail. And I got – count ‘em – *five* packages!

I received a box of goodies from Mere, two boxes from my Mom (including coffee for Sgt Major Houston and an awesome deluxe fruitcake from the Corsicana bakery in Texas!), more coffee from Mike Crowe and a box of Harry & David cookies from Ed Fluhr, thanks to everyone! And the Sgt. Major sends his best, grumpiest wishes! (he is very touched by your generosity, as he says the folks in the UK would never do that, which is sad – but then those gobs only have to do six months, just like the Air Force pukes…).

Thanks again everybody, and have a great holiday.

Oh, and I shaved my head! Is that cool or what?

Tim

Fair Winds and Following Sands!
