Sunday is Funday!!!!

Well, not really here, but I'm sure some people are having fun somewhere!
Our Sundays here are mainly in mind rest days only, because for the most part we are doing normal things on weekends. You know it is not bad though, because there really is nothing else to do here. I mean they have MWR centers here, with music, and video games and stuff, but I am in our office til at least 8pm and am ready to go to bed! It usually takes 20-30 minutes to walk down to the room, and it is pitch dark! And then we get up and run with me, SSG Caldwell , and SGT Gustafson leading the way! Well, actually its only us running, so it will be a given that we are leading the way! We go at a slow pace for the most part, but today they took me for 38 min., and I haven't run for that much time in a couple of years. I love to run, but I usually go at a fast pace for about 24 min., and then am tuckered, but this long timed run is cool, because I have nothing but time here! And when I'm at home I feel that if I get it done quicker, I'll have more time to do other things! I don't know, like watch TV or something.
Besides, if I get up to the office after I run and get a couple of cups of coffee, I can usually work up a good blow out! If you get that, sorry!
Anyways, I usually talk to my wife at this time, or I call at about 4pm here, when the kids are getting ready for school, so I can speak to them! I just got off the phone with them, and that does us all some good! I noticed that people seem to be bored w/ the site I guess, because no one makes many comments anymore! Either you've have forgotten I'm gone, or I need to start writing some more rage into my posts. That usually provides drama! I'm kidding of course!
Tonite was movie and pizza night, and we got 3 pizzas from pizza hut, and watched ELF up in the hizzouse! How many times can I put pizza in a sentence!? ELF is a good show, and we pretty much enjoyed that! You gotta love Will Ferrell, because I sure do!
I hope everybody had a good weekend and has a good week!
Later,
Erik

Brother Mark here-

I want to let you know that I've been reading every post you've written, but in most cases many days latter, hence the reason why I've never posted yet, but I'll make it happen as of now. Life's a changin, as you've heard. New job, new state, no friends (just kidding) and etc.

My blunders are in no comparison to your life right now, and I want to you to know that thinking of you makes me stronger and gives me no excuses for my situation or state of mind. Nothing, in my mind, can compare to an involuntary change in "life" and lifestyle that you've had to endure. You a strong fella and I've always looked up to you since the day I was born. Seeing the pressure put on you makes myself want to work harder (in every way) and not take foregranted the life that us homeland Americans have.

Anyhow, I absolutely love your great attitude, your writings, and the service that your giving our American freedom and life.

Hey, and also, don't forget, I work for a health and fitness company now so you better not stop those push-ups, by the time you see me next you may not recognize this man!

I love you and god be with you every second, Mark

Thanks bro!
I didn't even know you worked for a fitness company! Send some free stuff over here!
I hope everything is going smooth in Col., and I know you will get used to it! Pretend your on vacation, and then by the time you get used to it, it will feel like home! I appreciate all your great comments, and am proud to be your brother! Take Care,
Erik
