Glad he made it back home. I've been in Southern Afghanistan since February and my rotation is ending in 15 days.

That's great news. Angela, I thought it was your cabriolet. As it happens, my Targa is in my wife's name. I wasn't around when she went to the DMV to register it.

We thank all of you for your kindness and wicked good humor!  He's got a job back home here (well, a couple hours away in Coos Bay - close enough) that starts in early November. So right now he is hanging out, working with the Boy on his Subaru, and then I suggested this morning that he build a rotisserie for a couple of car projects we have in the pipeline. He thought that was a smashing idea and a great use of his time between now and the start of work. He told me a really funny story that I thought I'd share with all ya all. His initial flight got changed several times and at one point it looked like he and four other fellows would have a 22 hour layover in AMSTERDAM.... Let's see, 5 guys in a celebratory mood, with money in their pockets and a signficant shortage of female companionship for the last year. Yeah, like what could go wrong with that.  Well, it turns out, one of them had taken an Amsterdam adventure previously. He had a six hour layover. Now, really, exactly how much trouble can you get into in six hours? Well, the HR got contacted by this fellows attorney as he had been arrested and they were not going to let him go. Due to attorney client priviledge, the attorney would not state what exactly MR. X did. Mr. X spent almost 3 weeks in an Amsterdam jail. He got out in time to fly straight back to work in Afghanistan. My husband was flabbergasted and said "what the #$%$ did you do?" The guys says, "I don't remember. It had something to do with taking a hostage and I'm not supposed to go back there ever again." Mr. X is now my husband's secret hero - LOL! I am sure glad that the last minute change of travel plans involved Germany and not Amsterdam. He might have been signficantly delayed on his way home! angela
