Welcome Back to the Blogosphere

It has been quite a while since either Mandy or I have darkened the proverbial web doors of our blog. I expect our frequency of update to change substantialy in the coming months. I deploy to Afghanistan in less than a month, and I intend to use this space as a place to keep everyone informed. That means that whatever I put up here will already have to be sanitized for web usage. Obviously we are at war and loose lips enable and embolden the enemy. Therefore don't expect great operative insight into the 101st Airborne. However, I hope that it will be an easy way to journal my own experiences and stay in touch with many friends and family back home (and some of my Army pals elsewhere in harm's way).
