Marhaba ! Hello / Welcome
It's Dec 30 , not quite New Year 2009, but yesterday was the new year of the Islamic calendar, which follows the lunar cycle of 28 days (I think). Finally went back to work today and of course, no one received the "MEMO" that there was going to be a base wide power outage. So, after getting the simulator all powered up and running and in the process of flying around to test the systems, the power outage happens and so there we sit for 3 hours til it comes back on. So Much fun! I work again tomorrow and then have the real new years day off, then the week end. Maybe next week things will get back to "Normal" pace. I sure hope so.
Received some Christmas cards today at work , one from Mom and the other from my Aunt Dot. Was nice to get real mail, but I get e-mail all the time, so it's not like I am not in touch. Kim sends me care packages every now and then, stuffed with things I can't find locally.
Kim will be arriving here next week to spend 3 months with me. This will actually be the first time in 31 years of marriage that we will be away from the girls and spending time together alone. Sort of empty nesting. I am sure we will talk to "them" daily via internet and Skype (voip) telephone, But then we can just hang up! ha ha! Maybe if I get a long week end we can fly to Dubai or somewhere close for a sight see visit. I still want to get to Australia some day, but we will see.
Tonight I am having a baked potato for dinner. Did not feel like fixing anything else. Added some Mrs. Dash, butter, and sour cream. Yummy..!
Well, take it easy. TTYL
