I remember the first time we were out of communication for a while. I think it was about 2 months with nothing.

When we got news again it was the same thing, Israel and Palestine were still at it, people were still shooting each other and the Democrats and Republicans were still arguing over who gets power and control over a country that's going downhill. It was like we were incommunicado for a day.

The world goes on and you won't be missed. Enjoy it!

As a final thought, make it to Annapolis on October 8. You need a date to leave. If you don't have a date you won't leave.
