Happy Saturday! For those of you tuning in back home, then Merry Christmas! Here in Iraq, it's business as usual, just another day. But it is also important to note that for me and my gange, we've past the halfway point and it's all downhill from here. That is a good cause for celebration. Cheers.

You know, sometimes it sucks knowing what the right course of action is. Instant gratification is a bitch to turn down, especially if you don't know how well the "delayed gratification" will turn out. Why does doing the right thing seem like the boring one?
