Day 17

We have the day off so I slept most of the morning and then went to chow with Thompson. Now I'm at the computer lab, just played a few games of chess. It feels like we're going to be here forever, nothing has been happening. Like I said to someone yesterday, I hope it gets ridiculous and we stay here for another month or so. There's action up north from what I hear, a car bomb killed 9 of our soldiers yesterday. That means we've got to be on our toes. I will be a little safer I think, but who knows. We've been here in Kuwait too long. Too much inactivity. I continue to work the rubics cube and hope to have it solved by the end of our tour. I have received some support from others, and a few tips on how to solve it.
