Today I figured out how I like my coffee at Green Beans - a triple shot double latte with one and a half Splendas. This is a crucial step in life here at the NEC. My coffee situation was critical - I could survive for up to three days drinking dining facility "joe". This important breakthrough allows for a critical aspect to come to life - something to look forward to. I can now plan my week around Wednesday and Sunday "foofoo coffee mornings". Thanks to all who were praying about this situation.
Additionally, they served pizza in the DFAC at a pivotal moment in time. Although it didn't occur to me until heading to the gym that I really needed some pizza, when I arrived at the DFAC my here-for-to unknown problem was solved. This previously unknown dire situation was possibly hidden by a hot dessert section of the extensive dessert bar, masking the true problem.
Finally, my first package from home arrived today. It has Mick/Karen's DVD collection (my thanks to the Alaskian contingent), a framed picture of the fam and magazines. Importantly it also contained the important door seal to close the holes between the CHU door and the frame.
Oh, and I worked all day too.

Hey Chris,
Good to hear all is going well and you've settled into a routine. Most importantly, I'm glad you are in good health and hanging onto that sarcastic sense of humor I really enjoy.
I can certainly understand the "foo foo" coffee need (I too suffer from the same addiction as long as I can make money by selling something on Ebay. I've currently got my eyes on selling some shoes Chris doesn't wear often), but I've never known anyone over the age of 14 who actually "needed" pizza.
It has been a long time since I've experienced 100+ temperatures and maybe therein lies the answer. I'll be in El Paso, Texas next week with temps well over 100 predicted.
I'll be thinking of you.
Keep the blog going - I tend to check in as often as I can.

How many Chu's are in your location? Grunge didn't know. Is there a ton of them? Do you have to be a certain rank to get a Chu? If I'm not in the military can I come and get my own Chu like you? Imagine how I would fix me mine! Hee hee.
What's your address-- I wanna send you something-- don't worry, I'll be good! Post your address in one of your posts so we can send you and precious presies. I imagine getting mail there is fun...
Brian -
Off the top of my head there are more than a couple of hundred CHUs in Chuville. Some military actually have apartments that were built for the State Department employees. All ranks of military and civilians have CHUs, the only difference is that I get a solo CHU - no roommate because I am an old Colonel.
