Last night, Christina and I had dinner with another couple, Andrew and Jen.  Andrew is best friends with Christina’s brother and is about to be deployed.  They had their wedding the weekend before ours and so it was, yes, yet another anniversary dinner!  It was great to see them though and I wish Andrew all the best when he goes overseas.

I already mentioned that I can’t believe two nations could fight a modern conflict using the incredibly powerful weapons in use today.  Just as amazing, and probably stupid, are the journalists who cover these conflicts.  They sit in the middle of a war zone and assume their journalist credentials will protect them from bullets and bombs.  While we are given an unprecedented view of battles on TV that is disturbingly captivating, I simply can’t imagine what makes these journalists go through what they do.
