Afghanistan
I'm glad Gen. Petraeus is in command of the whole Middle East operation now. The change is a positive, timely one. However, I'll still be surprised if it ends well. And even if we do get out...(will we ever?) I'm not hopeful for a strong (independent?) Afghanistan...I'm just not. I'll skip the stats on wars in that country. Most everyone knows them, and no one will change their mind because of this stupid blog anyway. So why do I offer an opinion? I don't know...maybe I shouldn't...what do you think? However; remember, there are years of history to back up my position, in any event. The only thing "different" this time is things are worse. It's a complete disaster. We should pray for everyone over there, including my nephew.
My brothers came out last weekend. (One of them thinks we should be out of Middle East wars, the other does not.) We had a great time! We went to the Hard Rock Casino. (We gambled, and broke even, then bought shirts.) And we watched the soccer final. It was good to watch the game with people who know soccer. My bros did a good job explaining the strategy behind what we were watching. Mostly we just hung out, and discussed politics, sports, religion, family, and money....(not sex, since we're married the subject is off limits... :-)Which could be a subject for a future post...
Why do women discuss their married sex lives, and guys can't (or won't)? It's strange...not that men want to discuss married sex (as opposed to sex in general) that much anyhow...women seem to want to verbalize about things like that more than men (sexist, yes (sorry)...its an observation, that's all...do you agree? No?
Max got horribly sick recently. He had a fever of 104, and had terrible back pain...no joke. The doc suggested we take him off all meds for a day to see what happened. (What?) He was in agony w/in a few hours. We went to a different doc the next day. The second was aggressively working to diagnose him, but no luck. Some tests come back this week, so maybe we'll know after the fact. He is better now.
It's hot here...damn hot. It looks like a front might move through tonight, and the rain will cool us off temporarily...good!
