Now that the jet lag is over, I can sit and reflect about our excellent journey through the Middle East. I've learned a lot of things.
1. The troops are amazing!!!
I give them huge props for doing the tasks they do. Regardless of how you feel about the war, these men and woman are doing a stand up job. They are putting their lives on the line to protect our nation and our freedom. Every person we talked to had a great personality and deserves recognition. We salute them! Keep up the good work and THANKS!
News / Opinion Parachute has yet to land...

About three years ago, I remember getting an e-mail from the kid brother of a good friend from college. His name was Alex and he played bass in a band with some buddies in Charlottesville, and I had known his older sister, Dori, quite well following an infamous egg-throwing incident my junior year.
Back in school, Dori would often gush about young Alex’s work on a new recording, or the latest gig his band, Sparky’s Flaw, had booked to play in the local scene. Even then, she portrayed the role of the proud big sister quite well, always eager to share the latest news on her brother’s project. But honestly, I didn’t pay too much attention.
I myself had a few friends and family members in bands and my thoughts were along the lines of "good for Alex." Strum a few chords for the University of Virginia sorority chicks. Have some fun, make a few bucks. Maybe they’ll blow up. And by ‘blow up’ I was thinking, "tour the mid-Atlantic college circuit."
