Stuart's Departure

[ceebeegee]

Got this email from Stuart:

I'll see many of you soon, I'm off to Iraq for a bit. Keep in touch, love to everyone.

Stu

I'm trying so hard to keep it together. Please, please, please stay safe, little brother, dear little baby brother.

It's hard for me to relate, being an only child of a single-parent family. I've never had much in the way of family bonds.

If he does come to NYC, you should introduce him to me and also to my friend Doug, who was in the Navy (the battleship Iowa in the Gulf War). Would make for very interesting conversation over some pints.

I love the fact that you use the proper indefinite article with "historical." And I concur about Iraq being an interesting tour. If your brother and his fellow soldiers accomplish their mission, Iraq may well be an excellent tourist destination in a few years.
