12 hours to go...

I am off to Iraq in 12 hours. I haven't any clue how often I'll be able to post from there, but regardless, the tenor and content of this blog will probably change again. In any case, thanks to everyone who's already written me well wishes and kept me in your prayers through today. For those of you I know personally, I'll probably add your email address to my occassional mass email updates, and for those of you who do not, hopefully I'll update here often enough to keep you informed.
