Yesterday was Jody's birthday. Somehow I suspect that we will do things a bit differently for her birthday in future years. But this time, we went down to the DFAC for our food, sat at one of the outside tables and had a long evening meal. Unfortunately, the DFAC was having one of its bad days, and the chicken curry was cold, not very flavorful and riddled with small bone pieces. But we took a bottle of wine, and the evening was pleasantly warm, if very windy. After we sat out there a couple of hours and heard two iterations of the call to prayer, we came back in. We got one duck and cover siren a bit before we went to bed, and then another this morning just before dawn, at around 4:30 or so. This photo, I'm afraid, is not from last night's dinner, but from a morning stroll in France the day we were flying back to Kabul. It's exactly what we look like during duck and cover sirens, except in this case we're sitting upright instead of crawling underneath the couch.
