Boots on Ground

I haven't been able to post for awhile, since I flew out of the states. And I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again. We'll see.

We flew into Qatar for a few days (actually longer than I thought we would.) We stayed in a tent (don't get the wrong idea, it was a huge sturdy tent that holds about 50 people.) I kind of equated the area with Club Med (I used the swimming pool, the media center, won money at the rec center, at nice at the dining facility.)

We finally flew out again yesterday (25 Mar). Now I'm on the ground in country. I still haven't made it to my final destination, yet. But it should only be a few days now.

I'll touch base again when I can,
Eric

Bring Down the Lights

For the last year or so my wife, Susan, and I have been going to this bar for karaoke. Susan doesn't sing (or at least she hasn't yet.) I do a lot of singing. Some of it, probably a lot of it, isn't too bad. Some of it, I probably should've left alone. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

A few days from now, I fly out of here. The Karaoke Jockey (KJ) at our local likes to say I'm going to be pouring sand out of my boots. He's probably right.

This past Saturday night was the last time I'll visit my little karaoke place for quite a while. It is sad. It's only been a day and I'm already missing it.

It remains to be seen if karaoke exists in the land of sand. If it does, I'll find it. I'll record it. And my local KJ says if we can put it in DVD format, he'll even 'put me in the rotation.' That's my goal.

Ah, the hopes and dreams of the excentric (or hopelessly insane.)

So, for my next number...

Here I Sit

It's been awhile since I posted to this blog. I got back from training, had relatives in town, took some leave, and goofed-off a little. So, the blog got left behind for a time. Now it's back, and I promise that it will come back strong in a week or so.

Keep checking back from time-to-time.
