i will not read healines on the internet about events in Iraq today. i will not. i will not.

i do not know when Master will be back. i will not worry. It does no one any good. i will not worry. i refuse to worry.

Master called at 6:05 this morning to tell me He was on His way to the plane. The company probably won't hire Him now because He called me. There are supposed to be no cell phones on the base. He said He had to go into the bathroom to call me. Probably broke some great security rule or something.

He spent the night in a tent. On a cot with no blankets. Using a Kevlar vest as His pillow. i hope the tent had a/c. Today He was supposed to meet with Iraqi military leaders, a couple of princes, and warehouse workers.

i want Him here. Not there. He did not tell His daughter or son He was going there. We discussed that one on the way to the airport. It will not happen again. They should at least know He is going, in case something happens. No one expects to get into trouble, but bad things do happen to good people.

i had to go see Abdulla today to get my ticket voucher. He did turn my head. He noticed the weight loss. i could have kissed him. Of course he hasn't seen me for five or six month. Also got a second look from the VDAA. He's down 30 kilos on the Atkins diet. He's been at it a bit longer than i have, so he's got a few kg on me. But he was suitably impressed also. Faculty Secretary didn't say a thing. Old fuddy duddy.

i can't write all night. i have to find something else to pass the time.
