Afghanistan news and business report
I have a friend of 40 years, about my age, who works in Afghanistan trying to teach them to grow something besides opium.  There are poor roads and opium can be carried on a mule on a trail.
"Yeah Afghanistan is getting worse.  We have to travel in armored cars and with Gurkha "shooters" now.  I limit my trips to the absolute necessary.  I will be traveling through Kabul at the end of the month.  The road from the airport is scary, they keep blowing people up on it.  So far, I have not been close enough to see a bombing, but I have been close enough to hear a few.  The RPG rounds that they throw in here at night are more of a nuisance than much of a threat, but they could get lucky and hit something.
 
Yeah, old friends are getting harder to find.  Got to stay in touch."

This is from an email from him.

Sending my loving and heartfelt prayers for "Uncle Owl's" safety and sanity while in such insane conditions.  In the name of our loving Father and Son and Spirit. 

"GRAAAAND SLAM" ... and since our Christmas visit, now I know the truth ... that you two cheated at bridge!!!

Love and prayers to both of you and glad you've preserved and treasured the friendship all the many years,

Karin

You should have seen us when we tried to play duplicate bridge.  They asked us what "convention" we used and we said our own.  We lost.
