After 49+ years and 5 knee surgeries, this is what happens to a gym rat: pick-up games in Antarctica. These guys were playing a game of 21, and asked if I wanted in. In sandals and jeans, I finished, 4th of 5. Scores were 21, 18, 16, 13, 4.
We got our bags checked in this evening, and are scheduled for an afternoon flight tomorrow. The good news is it is a C-17 (jet) so a 5 hour flight instead of 11-hour C-130 (prop) military flight. We may have more room also, but not sure how much more cargo they will have.
This will probably be it from Antarctica, I'm heading for bed. Signing off, I guess I could show you the view out my window I've had the past 2 days, similar to the one we had before we deployed. We across the hall from the rooms that have a view of Ross Sea and the Mountains.
