Hello Kindle, Goodbye Borders
"Books no longer, get lost on the shelf. They can be accessed even in the remote parts of the world, even that clunky textbook. With the Kindle, once you buy a book, it's forever yours."
Reminiscing
I used to love Borders and Barnes and Nobles. I would spend countless hours, flipping away at shelves, relaxing in the comfy chairs, eating away at books and sipping Seattle's Best.
Those were the days. Long, and lazy with nothing in store but a good book and an open mind. Now those long, lazy days are long gone....
Planning for my European Backpacking Trip
When I was planning my trip to Europe, I knew I would spend countless hours waiting for a plane, for a train or riding on one. Since I was backpacking, I had to travel light. I was convinced then that I needed to purchase a Kindle. And since Amazon had just reduced the price on the Kindle 2 by 20%, I was off running to Target to make that storied purchase.
Operation Welcome Home
Relationship
I flew in with approximately 200 Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan for up to one year.
A flight that I barely made (Space-A), and one that I didn't expect to make turned out to be the highlight of my trip.
Understanding
It was an honor flying with my brothers and sisters back home. And it was a great honor being in the receiving line of the best, most heart-felt welcoming I've ever witnessed in my 20 years of service.
What a wonderful way to come home after the whirlwind tour of Europe and a fantastic way to end my Navy career.
I start school on Sunday and go on terminal leave until the end of October.
Thank you sincerely to everyone especially Operation Welcome Home for giving our Heroes the welcome that they truly deserve.
