Nearly there

Hey Y'all,
I am almost home. I can't describe how much better I feel. I know I tend to drone on about how miserable I am , so now I am pleased to report how comfortable, rested and stress-free I am.
We had some stress getting out of ye'ol' COB Speicher, but that is over now. It will make a great discussion for us over that Summit EPA you have waiting for me in your fridge so I will not go into it now. I don't want you to think I am focused only on drinking but my next big decision is what to order on my plane ride, nine short hours from now.
One of the guys at work got a hold of a brochure for this place in Kuwait that caters to guys like us and we got out of Ali Al Saleem (the US airbase in Kuwait) where the food and beds are free. When I say free I mean free from comfort, free from sheets, free from sleep, free from most anything pleasant. So instead we paid a considerable sum of money to have a big fluffy bed, internet, television, food with flavor and the opportunity to remove the sand from our nether regions.
Kuwait is a place that leaves much to be desired. For the richest per capita country (I am quoting a very unreliable source here), it sure is a bore. I have been walking around city streets getting a lot of nasty looks and jumping away from speeding cars, but other than that a lot of sitting on my hinder.
At 00:40 tonight or this morning (however you care to look at it) I will be flying home. Fourteen hours to Dulles Intl., then a few more to Chicago and sit an agonizing 4 hours there to see my sweet, sweet babies. Oh, how I have waited.
I talked to Erin last night (this morning, here) and she says she is getting calls from my loving family to come down to visit. I look forward to seeing everyone, so much. It won't be but a moment, now. I feel at piece now just knowing this.
That said, I will see you all soon,
Cliff
