Oooooh, coffee!
I actually slept well last night, so that was nice. Should be a busy day, but low-key and at home. I have to make dad's shadowbox today.
We found a flag which had been cleaned hanging in his closet, unlike his porch flags which are stuffed in a drawer. It seemed a bit odd, so I opened the cleaning bag and counted the stars. 48. This is probably my grandfather's flag. He was a WWI purple heart hero, and I have the war story of how his leg was machine-gunned of on November 11, 1918. Don't make me make you google that date. He moved to Hollywood and was a film extra, mostly pirates and beggars. A shame, he was a good looking man! He has a speaking part in Captain Blood with Errol Flynn. I should get someone to help me put that clip on YouTube, huh?

Hi guys. Your letters and good wishes have succeeded! My bosses have changed my assignment and I no longer need to to sit this one out. I will BURN this year like no other. Camping with Minitropolis.
Funny the little things that bother you. In one of my last notes before I went and hid, I wished you all a merry "fuck off" or something. It's been in the back of my mind ever since. I was trying to be a burny dood who says fuck off when he means hello and all but I guess I'm not that dood. If anyone was offended by that I really really didn't mean it that way. I know you know and all that, but it bugs me and so I'm bringing it up.
In fact I was very touched by the encouragement from everyone here.
I'll see you soon! I'll be catching up on ePlaya over the next few days.

I miss AntiM's grandfather.
I miss Scott.
I'm scared of that breakfast spider.
And Scott.
And my father .... I never met my grandfather, he died in 1941. Wish I could have met him. I can share his story sometime, it is a little long for now. Real action hero stuff.
