Whew!

I got an e-mail from Ben today. I am so relieved. I haven't heard from him in months and I was about two seconds away from checking our local troops in Iraq board to make sure he hadn't deployed. Big sigh of relief. I think he's having a pretty crappy time of it though. I guess my paradise isn't for everyone. Can you imagine being sad in Hawaii. I think most of it stems from boredom. It must be hard living on an island you can completely cover in 6 hours. So far this week: new underpants and old friends. Off to a good start. :-)
