The Ed Report

"I'm screaming at my brother on the cell phone he is far away"

I talked to Ed at length today. He seems to be doing well. What relieves me more than anything when I talk to him is that our conversations online chatting while he is in Iraq and I am home are exactly like the conversations we would have just about any where any time. Something about this I find oh so very comforting.

12:16 PM Edward: whats up dude?
12:17 PM me: Hey man

12:18 PM Edward: not much
12:19 PM hows the house?
