Nearly every day I get an email asking how my day went. People just love to ask what I did today. To be perfectly honest, there's not much room in a day here for "interesting" things to happen. In a war zone, "interesting" generally means "bad" anyway. So instead of explaining to people that every day is exactly the same here, I figure I'd just write up every single thing I do, in detail, so I can forward it along when they ask. So here is what I did yesterday. Here is what I'm doing today. Here is what I'll be doing tomorrow.
