The Guitar, The Meteor and The Wardrobe

Lately things have been going kinda slow around here, so I decided to make good time and learn a new skill, so I walked outside and saw a few of my buddies playing guitar and i thought, "Hey, I could do that." And so I did... or I'm working on it at least. I'm glad to report though, that I am picking up on it rather quickly and should be able to play at least some basic stuff when I go home on leave. Very exciting. I started learning about 3 days ago, and last night when I was sitting outside the tent with my two mentors Lee and Rathjen, the sky suddenly lit up as if a flare was just fired, so naturally we all kinda tensed up and waited for something to happen when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I see a big light, so obviously i turn to investigate and, bam, there was a meteor the size of Chicago, then again I've never been there but I'm just guessing. It was by far the biggest comet I have ever seen and quite possibly the coolest thing I have seen in a while. Other then that, like I said, things have been quite uneventful. Hope everyone is in good health and enjoying life. Take care and stay safe.

Du har vaert paa Manhattan, du...

Mens jeg er i gang med aa rette paa deg: du mente nok en metor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor) ikke en komet...

Men stilig fortelling for det. Haaper du holder gitarspillingen gaaende. Piano spillingen min tok slutt for flere maaneder siden. (Kan heldigvis fortsatt spille "Lisa gikk til skolen".)

I recently stole a guitar that belonged to one of our guys here who decided to become a deserter while home on leave.

Been shaking off the rust - feels great to play again!
