It’s rainy and I’m listening to Freddie Hubbard play - Here Is That Rainy Day Again. He is extenuating the notes on his trumpet then comes the release followed by emotion. We are slogging through the mud today at Bagram which means flights will be cancelled and soldiers will play a waiting game.
Most of the soldiers will be in 100 man tents. Bunk beds right next to one another. A bunk bed then another then another then another…. They listen to I-pods, play an electronic game, watch DVD’s or unplugged read a book or just stare at the ceiling. Regardless of how connected you tried to be - cell phone calls, skype computer viewing or e-mails home is going to be different. Home is a place they haven’t been because you block it out to make room for the next day over here. Home is the dream while your killing time waiting ….
