December is officially here. Its turned cold, rainy, and nasty over here. Which I've found is rather nice compared to what this past summer was like. The end of our stay in the middle-east is growing very near. We all are starting to get very antsy and showing signs of "short-timers" syndrome. I've already started packing a few bags, straightening up a few things, just to make those final couple of days a cinch when it comes time to load up the trucks and get the duck out of fodge!
