Not sure yet whether this is going to be a blog of any real consequence, or a journal, or what. I don’t know that I can entirely separate the journal from the blog, and maybe that’s a good thing.
Trouble is, I don’t like to be as honest in a blog as I might be in a journal, but since vulnerability is a key to my own personal walk, well, here we go, kids.
Couple of days ago what may have been an Afghan military personnel blew himself up at FOB Chapman, where we’d been for a meeting just a week or so ago. Puts it in perspective.
Jamie worries about me over here, and I really can’t blame her. The press she hears is all about the explosions and the like. We’re doing this for some good reasons, but at the moment? I hate that it’s hurting her for me to be here.
As for my actual work here, we’re still moving forward with the logistics on this project, but it’s a slow process. We consistently find that communication is an opportunity for us, and by us I mean humans, not just people on this project.
Going to make the nightly Skype call home…technology, at least in that regard, is really pretty amazing. Nice to be able to stay in touch.
