Counting the Minutes

Has everyone noticed the counter in the sidebar counting down to Ed's release from the Army?

As you may or may not know, Ed is currently deployed in Baghdad on his second tour of Iraq. No one really seems to know when he will be done with this tour, though the word we keep getting is that he should be home in time for Christmas.

So, because I can't count down to a time I don't know, we are counting down to his release from the Army, which is September 24, 2007. That's not so far off eh?
