This is the furniture used during the Dan Rather / Saddam interview in early 2003 just before the 2nd war started.My boss back in the states called the other night. He let me know that I had been selected for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel. I celebrated with a near beer (no alcohol allowed here). In fact, I'll buy a near beer for anyone out there reading this!
My actual promotion date isn't set yet. I'm guessing it will either be July 1st or August 1st. It'll probably be my last promotion and the kids haven't seen a promotion ceremony so, despite my desire to keep it low key, we'll probably make a big deal out of it.
BREAK
I had an interesting thought while running the other day. I'll be here for 26 weeks (give or take a day). There are 26 miles in a marathon (give or take two-tenths). Perfect - a countdown I can relate to.
Let's see, that would mean I'm at mile 4 1/2 . . . damn, bad idea.
147 days to go.

Congrats on the promotion!!!
Edging ever closer to those General's stars. Sorta like being at kilometer 35 in the race that is your career. Congratulations!
