MIKE IS HEADED OUT FINALLY

Mike is headed for Iraq now; think he got a bit tired of all the waiting. We'll probably not find out why the delay, but they did ship out yesterday, and he should be in Baghdad within the next week to ten days. He appreciates everyone's prayers.

Mike has started a blog to keep folks up-to-date. You'll find him added to my links, if you'd like to follow his adventures.

He did get an unexpected bonus out of this delay--a short visit to ND. He got to see all the family, and Mary, of course. :)

Kent is planning a trip to ND while we're there--can't wait to see him!
