Back in the day, I would update my journal every month or two.  However, I just reviewed my last posting and noticed that it had been almost four years since I had last written a journal entry.  I had promised some things, but those journals will remain unwritten.  In that intervening period since my last entry, my assignment ended in Arizona, and I was reassigned back east.  I spent a fall, winter, and spring in the epicenter of misery, Detroit, Michigan.  I was sent back to the Middle East for a final time and then quit the job that had taken me around the world several times.  I returned back to my home after spending six years away, and f
