Two random deployment thoughts

1. I don't like the time difference. When we were in Germany and Fred was in Iraq, we were off by 2 or 3 hours. Now the time difference is 8-and-a-half hours. We're almost on opposite days! And, I'm sorry, but 8-and-a-half is just a stupid time difference.

2. I wonder how long it will take me to stop thinking, "Oh, Fred's here!" every time I see the Blazer and start thinking, "Oh, Mike's here!"
