Let me just start off by saying that I know I suck at updating this blog lately. I'm sorry. And if it is any consolation, I feel guilty about it. Things have kinda been crappy around here lately. Morale is pretty low, and I think we are all just trying to get through these last few months. 2013 can't come soon enough.
A while back, somebody sent me a kite in one of the many care packages that I have received. I don't remember who sent it, sorry. When it came, nobody wanted to play with it, but I didn't want to throw it away. So, I just put on it on the shelf. CPT Coy found it on the shelf yesterday and decided he would take it out for a spin. So we took a little trip outside to fly a kite. It was fun for about 2 minutes, then CPT Coy got the kite string caught in some sort of tumbleweed and broke the string trying to get it untangled. Then we just decided to fly it with a really short string, which was actually way easier. Then the fun wore completely off, and we were done flying the kite. But it was a good 10 minutes of entertainment, which is hard to come by around here. So thanks for the 10 minutes of fun, whoever sent the kite!
Other than that, I don't have much else to say, as it really is just "groundhog day" around here everyday. I do have lots of pictures though, so enjoy...

| It's not going very well |
 |
| Maybe running will help |

| The answer to the proverbial question of how many lawyers does it take to fly a kite is apparently 2 |
 |
| He got it all tangled |
 |
| It was too tangled, and the string ended up snapping... |
