I blinked and missed spring. It had been cold here. Not the biting cold of Kyrgyzstan, but chilly nonetheless. The chilly winter broke into bright balmy days with cool nights. For about 2 days last week, it was absolutely beautiful. I daresay breathtaking, if you can ignore the bland barren brown landscape dotted with flies. I even saw a couple of girls in the bathroom who thought it would b... Read Full Entry

As a physician in the Navy, I have ample opportunities to travel. I started blogging a couple of years ago (and wish I had started sooner) but hope to keep it up through exotic vacations and less-exotic deployments to the desert.... full info

Victory!
The female super heros after the race!
Extreme Runners
That is no joke. The leopard guy ran the whole thing with the entire costume, head included! Dang. I never saw his face. Not sure if he ever took it off...
VMM-264 Represent!
Our squadron runners.
Captain America
This guy looks so miserable! The only thing worse than running that far is running that far wearing something like that.
Shots on St Patty's!
Actually, they were just shots of water. But it's the thought that counts! Maggie made green water for everyone!
Fightin Irish
One of the very Irish Gunnys in the squadron wearing a hat that sings and moves. I walked around wearing it while I handed out cupcakes. Fun!
Wild Camels
Flying over the desert, we saw loose camels just wandering.
Sea Monkeys!
They've grown! They supposedly get bigger, but they're decent size now... Still fun!
Medevac Patch
One of the crew chiefs got this patch from a local medevac squadron. Interesting slogan.

Powdered eggs
I agree Diann! YUCK! I think they're only intended for baking. I'm pretty sure that's what made the cupcakes taste funny, though. I might have to find another substitute for eggs in baking... Any suggestions?

We're having Spwinter
We, too, had couple of glorious Spring days last week, but it quickly turned very cold again. Yuck! I knew The Shack was fiction going in, so I took it for what it was, & got from it what I could. Some intriguing images of the Trinity, but I can't say it was life-changing for me. Have you read "Three Cups of Tea"? This is a TRUE and Amazing story of the difference one hard-driving man (Greg Mortenson) has made to the children (especially girls) in Pakistan & 'Ghan. Let me know; if you haven't read it I'll send it to you. I, too want to send you a package. What do you need or want (that fits in a box)? the smores cake sounds AWESOME. You'll have to make it for me when you're back Stateside. I pray that that will be soon. Keep your spirits up! Everybody here is rooting for you! Love & Hugs & Kisses, Aunt Mad

Looks like summer camp
Great blog. love the pictures. Interesting that you're spending Lent in the desert/wilderness. So did Jesus, immediately after he was baptized by John the Baptist. And he was probably not too far from where you are now. Glad you got a handle on the air sickness. The marathon looks like it was fun especially with the costumes. Must have been hot to run in them though. Miss you and love you. Will have lasazna waiting for you when you come home.
