Yup, made if back, in one piece from "ummm, the Iraq".  Lots of good friends were made there, and at least I was able to spread peace and love to that part of the world.  I am now back in Texas, trying to stuff two years of Grad school into one, as per the Navy's directives.  UT and Austin sure are interesting places, we are enjoying the collegiate lifestyle, though the academia can be gruelling.  Recalling nineteen years ago this weekend, Roki and I spent the night in Jail on Texas-OU weekend.  We were special guests that evening at the Lew Sterrit Jail house (loose Stirup?) which, by the way, has jailed infamous people such Lee Harvey Oswald, et al.  Any way, Good to be back, good to be alive these days.
