The MND-S Public Affairs shop had a BBQ on July 4th. It was a real nice time. We smoked cigars, drank Coors NonAlcoholic Beer, and put some precooked burgers on the grill. We all hung out together for about three hours and didn’t talk that much shop. It was a nice break from the everyday grind of our Iraqi camping trip/war/statebuilding.
The highlight of my night was when Smith was trying to act gay and sit on Raley’s leg. Then Raley up and bit him on the boob. Who thought I had to come to Iraq to see that? I just happened to be in the right place at the right time with my camera. Also read the Sorority Soldier’s blog entry.
Raley forgets that Smith isn't on the menu

I also received my birthday box from Leslie. She sent me everything from magazines, to a book on exposing the lies of Che Guevera and the useful idiots who idolize him, to cocoa rice krispy treats and her famous sugar cookies with icing, to Joe T. Garcia’s salsa and tortillas. Since we are separated, her love language is gift giving. I don’t even have to speculate where she gets it from in her family. She gets the gift giving knack from her mother along with her affinity for expensive hotels.
Here are more photos from the Sorority Soldier and I from flickr.

Adam,
I’m so glad Leslie got some of my best traits and that you get to benifit from them! Hope you had a happy birthday and you received our e-gift!
Stay safe,
Nancy
I’m sure you didn’t intentionally hide most of the Texas Football cover. Can’t imagine a nice Oklahoma boy like you doing a thing like that.
Stupid Leslie – she makes my boxes look like they are filled with poo…
You’re boxes aren’t filled with poo. Unless KittyPoo packages them
This was a special occasion box that has resulted in crazy demands by the birthday boy. I may have created a monster.
@Susan, I know the magazine is “Texas Football” so I should expect Colt McCoy’s face on the front every year. I do like the content of the magazine, especially since they predict an 11-1 TCU season; however, I don’t have to look at McCoy’s stupid face. I wish Dave Campbell did an Oklahoma Football magazine with Sam Bradford’s face on the front. A boy can dream….
Leslie is so sweet…!
I hope you had a good birthday–we miss you here!
Judging from the pic of you coworkers, they are not hurting in the cookie filled care package department.
love the group shot; you fit right in.
although very late, happy birthday!
