Phoenix Airport

Is where I'm sitting right now, nice and early. It's about 0545 or so, and the Ragin' Mrs. and I have an early flight - layover at Dallas/Ft. Worth, and then back to PR.

By the way, if you've always wanted to do something for the troops, but don't quite know what or how, or you weren't sure your donations were going to get to the people who needed it, may I make a suggestion? Donate to your local USO. Most major airports have a USO, a place for military personnel to kick back, take a break, check email, get a bite to eat, let their families get some rest, and that's just in the airports. That doesn't count all the things that the USO does for troops everywhere around the world. Most of the USOs in airports are run by volunteers. It's a truly non-profit organization who's sole focus is the moral and welfare of American service members. The whole reason this came to mind is because the Dallas/Ft. Worth USO is one of the best I've been in.

Anyways, the vacation was nice. I can't say that I'm looking forward to returning to Puerto Rico, after being back in civilization for a couple of weeks. But it's only seven more months, and then we're back in the real world.

It's gonna be a hellish seven months.
