Battle armor, check. Extra magazines, check. Oakleys and gator straps tight, check. ( actually, I'm a wayfarer guy). Gunny Highway's motto running through my head, check.

Thanks for the warning. I wasnt sure what to expect, but I knew the apprehension was not unwarrented.

Ten minutes before reading all your posts, I feilded a call from W. The lull continues. She was sweet and excited about seeing us. Twice I triedto break it off and she kept me on the phone. We talked about logistics for the rental car and other small talk as well as about all we'd done this week and this upcoming wknd's trip to six flags. She's excited to see the boys and have us return.

It was a surreal conversation given what's happened since March. I have a healthy suspicion of the sureral and now also know what to look for. Thanks a lot guys. The best way to survive an ambush is to avoid getting ambushed.

Leaving for home in two hours.
