out to ... sea?

Yup. Phil is out to sea this month. I took him to the airport last wednesday for a flight to Miami. From there he took a military flight to the Dominican Republic so he could be choppered out to the waiting ship. He's playing nurse in the pre-op department of the ship. They call it the Hotel. Natives of each port will enter the ship and be directed to the Hotel where Phil and his chums will get them ready for surgery.



The only contact we are able to have is through email. So far, I've received an email daily from him. Tonight's email was very, very short. He wrote to tell me he has a sinus infection and was headed to bed. The poor man is in open-bay barracks (250 plus men sleeping in the same room). And in South America, just the other side of the equator. Can you imagine how HOT it is there? Sick, no privacy, and sweltering ... not my idea of a fun time. Keep him in your thoughts? I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

On the home front, Bozley, Miko & I are enjoying the company of my little sister. She's staying with us while Phil is away. Except on weekends (she helps run the family's motorcycle course) so it's just me and Boz (and the kitten, of course). Speaking of, I think it's time for a visit outside.

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy your weekend.
