The number 13 is a great thing…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

39 days until you see me get off a plane in Fort Myers.

Until then, your birthday present will just have to be hope for a great 2009 led by an amazing man as our president!

I love you,

David

From HAD-DLDD Trip- 29.7-18.8

As of Wednesday, I have two months left in my service. I COS on December 1, then head to Cape Town and Paris for a few weeks before coming home on December 22.

Don’t mob me

I haven’t been good with writing posts. Just haven’t felt inspired. I was hoping my Mom could contribute a summary of the trip for my blog and I could add in pics, but that hasn’t happened yet.

Here is a link to the Picasa album with just about a fifth of the pics we took over the course of the trip. My Picasa account is officially pretty full, so I can’t put any more pics up right now.

I will say that I am excited to see everyone when I get home. It may take a bit of time to get around to see folks, but I will do my best in 2009. I will also be starting the job hunt (hooray, idealist.org) and I hope to see Obama’s inauguration in January. Republican, Democrat, Independent- if you think McCain has a chance in hell to win this election you better do what Ice Cube said… “chickity-check yo’self be’fo you wreck yo’self“.

It means Obama’s got it locked.

Anyway, I’m having a reflective last couple of months, making sure to say goodbye to those folks who have made an impact on me throughout the past two years. I’ll at some point post a bit of a catch-up entry to talk about September, October and November are going/will go.

One more thing: by the time you all see me, I’ll be SCUBA certified. I’m completing the last part of my certification on October 18th, after which I can dive to 18 meters without a dive master.

Anyone wanna go tickle some lobsters next spring? Just let me know

Take care all, and good luck to our Knights… they need every bit of it, it seems.

ok, tchau, ‘brigado.
