An Apology and Excuses

I wanted to apologize for not posting here for several months.

I have changed jobs twice since Major John has left. I've also changed my work hours three times. I have a miriade of other things going on in my life that pale in comparison with the efforts that CSM Bones and Major John are making.

Mostly I feel that I have nothing worthy enough to post on this blog. My knowledge of Afghanistan is almost exclusively that of the inside of my base over three years ago. There are other members of this blog that are far more knowledgable on a very wide range of topics and I feel that my lighthearted parochial rantings are not appropriate where such weighty matters as the rebuilding of nations are being discussed.

I apoligize for not contributing and for not having anything of value to contribute. I salute and applaud you CSM Bones and Major John. I will continue to support you in any way I can.

Awkward Moments in Insurance

I was assigned an old asbestos file for a welding supply company and decided to call the company's general counsel. No answer, so I left a phone message for the gentleman.

Next I called the lawyer who is handdling the cases out in the field. He informed me that the company general counsel had passed away a month before...

Oh boy, I wish I could take that voice mail message back.
