Hello from the Land of 120-degrees-plus, where the eggs fry on concrete within five seconds. Life is getting back to normal for me, now that my vacation in the States is over. I provide legal assistance to deployed servicemembers at a major installation here in Iraq. I receive e-mails from folks throughout the deployed region, including Iraq and Afghanistan, needing legal help. We deal with every major legal and non-legal issue that comes into the office and we never turn anyone away.
I'm doing well. I find the work challenging and very interesting. I'm glad that I get to be here to help, although I'm really looking forward to going home to my family. The scenery here leaves a lot to be desired, with just sand, sand and more sand. What little vegetation exists is already dry and burned up from the extreme summer heat.
The exodus from Iraq has begun and so things are starting to wind down. It seems as though both Americans and Iraqis are ready for our troops to be out of this country. Hopefully, law and order will remain once we're gone.
Although I can't comment on when I'll be back in the U.S., I do hope that once I've returned I'll have an opportunity to catch up with all of you. I want to find out what you have been up to over the last year, too! Thanks for all your support and best wishes; they always help to make a difficult situation less so. Thanks, too, for your support of Lauren and Bryony, as knowing they are being cared for back home sets my mind at ease.
Regards and best wishes
Adam
