I'm here ... Wherever here is

It was a long trip, but I finally made it here Wednesday afternoon. I'm getting settled into both my living situation (not horrendous) and my job (possibly fun -- we'll see). I'm currently hanging onto a ledge with my laptop at arms length trying to get a wi-fi signal so I can post this before my battery runs out.

There! Done!

I'll try to put something more informative together offline, then I can just post it when I finally get that elusive connection.

Hope everyone is doing well,
Marty

Slight delay; it's for real now

I was scheduled to leave early on the 6th, but turns out I had strep throat. I spent most of the Saturday before in the the emergency room waiting to be seen by a doctor. As luck would have it, I was placed on 48 hours quarters so I couldn't leave. This wasn't lucky for my gaining station as they're quite irate that I didn't show up.

I've spent the last week recovering and doing some of those things I didn't have a chance to do earlier; I still haven't finished them. It's too late now cause I'm at BWI airport waiting for my late night flight to the wonderful world of sand. Since my sponsorship on that end of my deployment has been quite lacking, I don't have a clue as to when I'll be able to contact anyone. Hopefully, I'll be once again engaged in regular updates of my blog, but as I don't know the finer details of my deployment, I can't make any promises. I know you'll all be on the edge of your seat waiting.

Dangling the carrot,

Marty
