My workout buddy is leaving for home tomorrow.  Over the next two months, before I leave, I'll see more buddies leave. 

I'm happy for them but sad for myself, too.  I enjoy their company and will miss them.

I guess there's always FaceBook. 

The going-away party was at Subway tonight.  It's the only restaurant that didn't close and, even then, it'll close in September unless General Petraeus decides to rescind the no extra AAFES stuff that General McChrystal did. I guess the reason it didn't close is that it had JUST opened when all the other ones were shut down.  It's way on the other side of the base and hard to get to (MUST have a vehicle) so we don't go there very often.

We had a great time laughing and joking, though.  A fitting way for my buddy to share his last meal in country.

Take care, man, and get home safely.
