Chris is in Tikrit. Andrea is in Chicago. Chris and Andrea are going to write, play music, and take photos. |
It’s easy to lose track of what day it is while I’m in Iraq. Most days are not disguisable. There is one day I look forward to, one day that is a beacon hope. The day before, when we’re leaving the office, Eric always asks, “Do you know what tomorrow is?” Of course I do, it’s Taco Friday!
I guess we could have picked another day to get excited about. It’s not like we have weekends off, but I think Friday has other connotations we relate too. We can think of it as the end of the week even if we do come in on Saturdays. Plus it sounds a lot better than Meat Loaf Monday.
I’ll be finished with my deployment in May 2010. Unless something crazy happens to me, I will have eaten at least 150 tacos before I’m back in the states. Some of you may think it’s sad that I count the passing of time in tacos and you would right.
