Hi to my wife, Louisiana, and my kids, Chrissie, Clifton and Pauline. I’m doing fine up here. Hope you guys are doing all right. Don’t worry about me. It’s pretty good over here. The people are friendly — Navy, Army, Kuwaiti army. It’s a different culture. You get to understand their culture, how they eat. They sit around and eat from one big plate. I drank camel’s milk, and I didn’t like it.
