My dear friend James was just deployed to Iraq fighting for the home team (He is from the Netherlands). James tells me parts of the place are actually pretty and if possible he will send me some pictures to post here on UA. When he IM's me and I say the dumbest things like,

"Be safe, watch your back, don't get mixed up in any trouble with civilians."

What else can you say? You feel so helpless for the men and women in harms way. I feel awful for the civilians caught in the crossfire and when I hear about the atrocities of war, I think my God those soldiers must have snapped. It's so tragic.

James is the one who found the hosting for this blog and saved me from countless other computer problems. He loves the Flyers and he even played on a hockey team. He reads this blog from time to time, so I wanted to leave him a message.

I can't help myself so I'll say it again....... love you James, come home safe Hunny. XOXO
