Near Beer!!

Ok so its a day late but Happy St. Patricks day everyone!! So I decided that for my own sanity (and my job) I will be enforcing the celebration of every Holiday that I can come up with while deployed!! My job on the team is accountability for all personnel AND to be the party planner!! I am MWR (Morale Welfare and Recreation) for the team! So on St. Patty's day everyone had to run the St. Patty's day 5K here! Ofcourse my running ablity was the talk of the town leading up to the race....I tried to tell them that running was my thing but they did not listen! So I had a few guys to run with for the first 1K then it was just me : ( ! It was a fun race even though my groin is still strained from my fall from the horse at Mahlon's before I left........
Anyway the second part of our St. Patricks day fun was to get some food coloring to dye the "near" beer GREEN (near beer is beer without any alcohol....hence the "near")!! ok getting food coloring from the Iraqi's in the DFAC (dining facility) is not as easy as it sounds! BUT I made it happen and we had our green beer. I have alot of pictures from this joyous day that I will put up when I get some wireless internet......

Hope everyone is well!

Much Love,

Mickey
