countdown

48 days until the next hurricane season starts.

78 days until I can be deployed for the next hurricane season. Or 88 days if I find a way to get down to NOLA to help with cleanup the first week of July.

7 hours of audiobooks so far in April-I put $3 in my graduate school account for each hour of audiobook I listen to. That way I'm improving my brain in the short term by listening to good books, and improving my brain in the long term by making it possible to go back to school.

Journaleers Homework-Back to Week 4 of 2005

Someday I'll get caught up on my journaleers homework.  Good thing I'm not being graded for timeliness.

( The Assignment )

( The Letter to Me as I was 2 Months Ago )

I'm going to be brave and post this one publically.  If you haven't read my deployment stories read them now.  I truly believe in New Orleans and I want you to too.
