I am tired! I have had lots of rest, yet I keep yawning. I guess it's to time put the uke away and go to the treadmill. I think tonight is supposed to be legs.

Rip Shred: Day 2
Today I was talking to a local guy that arrived at CRC with me. He said that he heard me playing and that it sounded good. It was nice to hear someone from back home say that.

Back in the saddle
My days of being a Dari language student have come to an end. (Yes, I actually did learn a bit of Dari.) Now its time to prepare for a one year all expense paid trip to Afghanistan.
