I have returned! Things went okay and luckily didn't take as long as I thought they would.
Anyway, thanks to the soldier (I know you're watching ) that told me about Biggie! It was pretty freakin tough not knowing when it seemed like a decision was imminent. But yes, word even found me where I was at which of course caused a few of us to yell a nice loud BOILER UP! To the hilarious confusion of the locals ...
These trips put life in perspective though. Life is more important than any game and I am just so grateful that we losers of this forum have the luxury to post here and get on each other's nerves. Especially when there are those still fighting for our ability to do that.
I took with me about 500 dollars worth of Purdue T-Shirts to pass around and what is funny, even a few rival fans took one just simply because it reminded them of home. That is the biggest thing we can do for all our soldiers overseas no matter where they are, just don't let them feel forgotten.
Okay off my soapbox, it's good to be back and I know it's early .. but I need a beer.... I look forward to arguing with everyone again.
