    Default I'm HOME!

    Hey all,

    I finally got back yesterday afternoon, it took about 6 days of plane delays and traveling to get here!!!

    Momma has not had her baby yet, so looks like I am going to get to see my second Son born any day now.

    Thanks for all the support from you guys while I was over in Afghanistan.

    Goddamn! Can it get any better? Back home in time for ya'll to have that baby together. What puts Edmond on my personal map is that they have a youth soccer club up there that is always ranked high in the nation. My kid plays and 3 years ago this Labor Day we played ESC Black 90 to a 2-2 draw until about the last 3 minutes when one of our girls fouled in the box and they converted the free kick. Then the same kid did it again. Final: 4-2. But, my daughter remembers that as one of her all time favorite games - she played her little ass off. When the final whistle blew, the ESC coach walked out on the field straight to her, shook her hand, and congratulated her on a game well-played. It was quite a moment for her.

    Thanks guys for the support, and I am hoping to get a chance today to smoke, yesterday I did not since he was born so late. I ended up getting home around 0100. <insert proud Dad smoking here>
