Yo man. I've been stationed at G*, and am currently without a phone. I'm feeling a bit abandoned, or perhaps that's not the right word. Is there a word for the feeling you get when you're in the army and they decide to station you in uzbekistan to insure no one storms the steppes? That's how I feel right now.

Anyway, I got to thinking that perhaps you're not feeling too differently from me. I'm thinking we should start a blog! Or try, anyway. it'd basically be just the two of us keeping in contact with one another, just notes on what's happening in life, etc. Like public emails, perhaps with identities vaguely changed to protect the innocent.

Let me know what you think. Do you have any ideas for a name for our blog? If you're interested, that is. Notes from Underground is the only title I've thought of so far, and actually 'I just want to be your tugboat captain', but they frankly are not great titles.

Hope all is well in your small Illinois town.
