 Welcome Aboard
--------------------
    So I was sitting in the DFAC eating lunch today when I looked over at an adjacent table and said Holy (explicative deleted). I ran into a girl that went to A&M with me, Kitt. Well I went over to say hi and the first thing she said was Holy (explicative deleted), which I thought was pretty damn funny. Anyway Kyle told me she was heading to Iraq, but never knew her unit or anything so know I know one more Marine Aggie here. So Kitt welcome to my little story time mailing list. Belinda, Elaine and Sharon, I just wanted to welcome ya'll too. This started out as a way to tell people about what I've been doing while overseas and has progressed to a website also. So check it out at www.CadeChron.com when you've got some time. There are a ton of pictures and all of the past issues of my adventures.

 Shiny Objects
----------------
    Well I meant this to just be a quick message to let everyone know I was ok, but progressed in to a full mini-issue. I'm still working on the "Euro Trip" issue, but as you can tell I'm a very undisciplined writer and shiny objects often distract me. Eww pretty shiny beads. I better go, I hope all is well.
