All about the Bs

Was back in Kabul Sat. night, at Baghram in Kapisa Province Sunday night, and now in Panjshir Mon night. Haven't had any time to write or much computer access. For those of you who are worried, I'm fine. In the safest province in Afghanistan! The last attack was by an older man who decided if he fired a rocket launcher, it would get the attention of the coalition forces and more funds would be spent here since the tranquility seemed to only get them ignored.

I’m going to miss a lot about Kala Gush. Some of which I’ve mentioned, others not so much…
-Banana milk-nuff said
-Beard covers by the servers in the cafeteria
-Basketball breaks in the middle of the day
-Convenient gym that has enough stuff you can get in a good cardio and weights workout when you want
-Computer lab that is easily accessible (though in high demand) that feels like a club house.
-Weather patterns that are constantly shifting, but always interesting and pretty...even the gray swirling clouds don’t stay long
-Southern-ness oozing from some of these guys to the point that this feels like a tight-knit community.

See how easy it is to make someone feel comfortable? It is all about the B’s, banana milk, beard covers, basketball, breaks, beauty and benevolence. We'll see how FOB Lion in Panjshir measures up. So far I have already noticed banana milk and beard covers. I've got a 10+ hour day of facilitating planning tomorrow so I'm not sure there will be much time for basketball. We'll see!

Swamped today will try to write a bit more later this week if I can.

Peace...
