For those of you following this, Saul left yesterday to report for active duty. This means that he’s going to end up a few miles from Baghdad shortly.

His orders have changed from when he was informed that he was being called up (or taken up on his volunteer attitude). The good news is that we’re expecting his “visit” to Iraq to last much less than we thought. The bad news is that he’s going to be much closer to Baghdad than we anticipated.

I’m keeping positive thoughts and inviting everyone to join me.

We’ll be keeping in touch with him via snail mail — which should be interesting. I don’t think he’s even going to have his phone over there.

I’m sure time will fly.
