Balmy 100

Some of you may recall a certain care package that was sent to Iraq a few weeks back. There was quite a bit of concern that the candy placed in said package would melt into a gooey mess that our troops would not enjoy.

I'm happy to report it was received un-melted. I mean it's only 100 in Baghdad at the moment. Anyone who has spent a summer in the Central Valley knows that's nothing!

Here's Shanan's note:

Subject: blue purple and wet

Fellas and Sarah,

I got a GIANT box of candy in the mail last night! My dentist hates you, but I love you all even more now!

True, blue curacao would have made for a tasty treat following my usual curry dinner, a purple any label shirt would have solidified my pretty boy reputation with the girls of the TMC, and porn would likely have caused me to use the astroglide...but regardless of alcoholic, fashionable (debatable), debaucherous, or heavily caloric, I love anything you all send, but not to worry about expressing emotions as even if a handwritten note were to bring me to the brink of tears I still couldn't cry if I wanted to and would thus maintain my bad ass army officer image.

Fortunately the chocolate arrived in solid form, so it's not Sarah's fault!

and i definitely think of you guys all the time and am pissed that I am missing bachelor parties and weddings! Can't wait to get back and see everyone!!

thanks again fellas and Sarah! miss you guys!
