02/13/2004 Entry: "sandbox"

I'm all for anything that remotely resembles good news at this time of year. Even the tiniest break in the routine of too many hours at work each day is welcomed. I don't get many phone calls at work and generally don't like the interruption in my workflow but the one yesterday morning was a big exception.

My baby brother (40 years old, 6 foot 2 and 180 pounds, but still the baby of the family) is back in the States after a second tour of the Gulf region. He still has the long drive up I-95 before he's safely back with us, but that can't be anywhere as bad as tooling around downtown Baghdad.
