Another Campaign With My Battle Tested Unit

The telegram arrived this afternoon. I was in the insulation aisle at Home Depot on 23rd St. A three quarter life size man approached, wearing a brown uniform with matching pillbox hat. I can't believe I tipped the guy a quarter to get this news.

Seems we're about to be called out on a mission. My third. I'm lucky... The announcer before me was just torn up by shrapnel in Athens. The poor kid never had a chance. This might even be tougher than having to eat prosciutto 5, 6 times a day like in Torino. Not to mention the unspeakable comestibles and sub-par red wines of China. This is the burden we true explorers must bear. For you, my cronies, relatives, and litigants.

I'm just proud to be an American. Again entering hostile territory to give you the only fair and balanced impressions of what I see in between scarfing the most sinful local foods which will probably be salmon. But this is the kind of sacrifice I'm willing to make. For you.

Just learned today I'll be working in Vancouver from Feb.7-Mar. 1st.

Stay tuned for random musings and updates. '
