Funny how one can be in DC, exploring a Smithsonian, then within the same day be in Vegas at Caesar’s Palace. Just a thought.
Posts and pics on vacation coming soon. Timezone change has me so incredibly tired now. But DC with Ryan was a lot of fun. :)
I was on MSNBC.com reading an article titled “Iraqi-U.S. operations hindered by culture clash“, which described the ineffective cooperation between American and Iraqi troops.
Suddenly, my eye caught view of the word “Port Orchard” in the article’s text. I read further:
A cell phone rang and the Iraqi lieutenant left the room to chat, cutting off Taylor in mid-sentence.
“I would have already smacked him in his face,” Sgt. Chase Decker, 23, of Port Orchard, Wash., muttered from a corner where he and three other U.S. soldiers were watching the culture clash unfold.
Chase! It was my brother’s friend from junior high. I knew he had been serving in Iraq, but it was just crazy to stumble upon his name in the headline article of MSNBC, mouthing off in typical Chase-fashion. :)
Oh look, a new WordPress template! Was hankering to use more of that horizontal real estate that the old layout did not afford. Still playing with this theme though, so little things will be changing. Much thanks to Ryan for letting me use his photo for a header. ;)

Back home in PO for the holiday weekend. Currently excited about the view driving in–everything here is covered in snow!! =)
