7 miles on an airbase in Qatar, avg 7:51.  Picked it up the last half-mile or so.

Looks like I'll be stuck here a few days.  As a rule, getting home from a deployment always has to be more complicated and time-consuming than going the other way.

Well, good luck on the travels! Hopefully the complications don't sap too much of your energy!

Hope you get home soon! I am in agreement with you--ready to taper and get things all fresh and snappy. I am definitely feeling it!

Safe travels, glad you are heading home.

Make a pass at your commanding officer.

Burt! I read this blog. But, hey, if it'll get him here faster, whatever it takes.

From Burt on Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 23:23:28 from 72.223.84.236

Oops. I hear it works, though.

Thanks all. Burt, don't you keep up with the news? I can make a pass at whoever I want now!
