Day 171

Still in Germany. Saw the doc today. Had some x-rays. I have physical therapy in about an hour and then a MRI today at 6 pm. My next doctors visit will be on the 25th at 2 pm. I won't know anything until then. Other than that, this place is incredible. Green Grass!! Trees!! Hills!! There's not a layer of dust on and in everything. My room mate showed up with a buddy and they wanted to room together, so, for now, I have a double room without the other half. And it's so quiet. It's hard to describe how quiet it really is. No generators running all over the place; no up-armored trucks driving all over the place; no planes and helicopters flying all the time. When I'm in a room all by myself, there's a noticeable ringing in my ears, just from the quiet. I didn't know how loud life in Iraq was until I wasn't there. More later.

just seeing the word "germany" conjures up images of fresh bread, delicious cheese, and vegetables grown from fairy tales. i hope it's treating you well.

also, i'd like to point out that in the beginning of the last blog, you basically implied that you do have the ability to levitate.
you should teach me that.
it's kind of always been one of my biggest aspirations...

just so you know, you missed out on THE BEST sexual harrasment briefing video ever...
think: the brutal awkwardness of michael scott on "the office" + easily offended women + the video production values of a bad sitcom from the 90' + the standard dose of military oversimplification = specialist black trying and failing at not giggling like a schoolchild.
