Reader Rich Tomlinson points us to a site that is highlighting the letters of our troops in Iraq. Some of them are heartbreaking and (as far as I can tell) all real. Worth checking out.

By the way, I heard there's a place donating Gmail invites to troops to help keep them in touch with their families. If you have info on this, I would love more info.

You'll notice that Ken Arneson has been MIA for a while and sadly, that hiatus is going to continue. Luckily, it was nothing I did this time. Ken's working on some behind the scenes projects that are very exciting. If you think A-B is cool now, just wait. Ken may pop up from time to time and he remains my favorite baseball p --- wait, can I say that, Ken?

Happy Trails ... and remember: God Hates Sweden. :)
