Day 9: 4 FEB 08 (SUPER BOWL!!!)

Man o man what a last 2 days. I did not go to bed until 8:30 local time today after watching what was probably the best Super Bowl in my life time next to maybe when the Giants survived the Bills Scott Norwood’s FG try in 1992 or so. We went out and shot the NFL cheerleaders and Players visiting with the troops. I also got some people’s predictions. I will post a link to the story tomorrow. I also did the radio show yesterday and talked with the players and cheerleaders. You can see the pictures I posted.

The big building is where I work and the small wooden building is where I live. The other picture is our sign and another picture of our newsroom. I need to clarify that my room is 10x10 not 6X6. Throw a bed, metal closet, and little desk and it certainly seems very small (and cold right now). We got 3 or 4 inches of snow in the last day. Its not so bad though. I will post more pictures of my room and what not as time goes on. I am pretty upbeat as work is starting to get into a flow and my master class starts. If you keep busy time goes fast. I got a box from Germany as my coworker in Germany is here with me and his wife sent me a couple things I needed. Its free from Germany to here which will be clutch when I got to mail stuff back. Michelle also mailed me a nice package of things I needed. She wrote a wonderful card to me and I now have it on my wall. Aside from my gear it’s the only personalization on the stupid wooden walls. Well I only got 5 hours of sleep after staying up all night to watch the GIANTS WIN!!!!!!! I am going to get a shower and go to sleep now. I should be able to post more again tomorrow.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for posting your blog. It will be a window into life in Afghanistan for those of us back home. Sorry to hear about the cold there...it's actually 55 degrees in Pgh. today! (with rain, of course) I'll be praying that you have a safe and boring time while you're there -- encountering too much excitement in Afghanistan might not be a good thing...
with love and prayers, sis. linda zane (mckees rocks branch)
