71 days sober

“I have been sober for 71 days now. Only because you can't drink in Kuwait. It really blows! I can't wait to get to the states and have a nice 7 and 7 or a cold beer. My dad always told me that quitters never win.”

“Sorry to hear of your plight. I can assure you alcohol still makes you feel funny, still makes you puke your guts out and makes you feel like crap the next day after drinking too much. And DUI's are still easily attainable according to the local newspaper.

Regardless, I take it upon myself to toast and have a drink in your honor sometime tonight. Keep on keeping on, dood, for what you're doing for our country and Kuwait.”

“I was going to congradulate you but........nevermind.”

“Dude that sucks!!!!!!!


Be safe!!!

“The worst thing is that when I get that is the best that I will feel all day. At least when I have a hang over I can look forward to feeling better in the afternoon.”

“So, I guess you don't like it enough overthere to become Kuwaitman?

Hang in there!”

“ill drikn one for you”

“"The worst thing is that when I get that is the best that I will feel all day."

....get UP IN THE MORNING that is the best that I will feel all day.

Just fillin' in what ya left out.
That is from Frank Sinatra.”

“I forgot some. It is late here but that is no excuse. Maybe it is because of all the sand that is getting into my brain”

“I'm a drinker with a hiking problem.”

“Hang in there Kodiak. Thanks for what you're doing. The day does come when you rotate home, and it will be good. Keep safe in the meantime.”

“Can't ya get a few days leave and go over to Qutar for a good pissing? It is the Los Vegas of the middle east after all.”

“I wish that I could get to Qutar. Hell no im stuck here for a while longer. The best thing that we get to do is buy gold in Kuwait city. At 11 a gram it is a steal.”

“That is a good price.”

“Gold hashish?”

“for preserving our liberties.”

“Scotch and soda, mud in your eye.
Baby, do I feel high, oh, me, oh, my.
Do I feel high.

Dry martini, jigger of gin.
Oh, what a spell you've got me in, oh, my.
Do I feel high.

People won't believe me.
They'll think that I'm just braggin'.
But I could feel the way I do and still be on the wagon....
