The only battles I'm fighting these days are with certain Canadian military bureaucrats. Never mind - that too will pass. My U.S. colleagues gave me a great send off tonight, and I start my travels home tomorrow. It takes a while to get out of Afghanistan and then I have a few days "decompression" leave before I actually get on a flight to Canada.

Thanks again to everyone who posted. It's been a long six months without singing (barring a little karaoke before I got tired of it) and I am looking forward to seeing you again.
