All a man needs out of life is a place to sit ‘n’ spit in the fire.

My Favorite Things – Part I of Iraq Memories

When I was mobilized to go to Iraq in 2003, Laura put together a series of little cards of recordatorios (rememberances, keepsakes?) for the kids. I’m going to post them here, because they seem poignant to me as I read them. These were the exercises I was going through days before I was to leave and potentially not come back.

My favorite things:

  • Animal: Froggies
  • Smell: English leather
  • Ice Cream: Cookie dough
  • Food: Hamburgers
  • Snack: Popcorn/Cheetoes
  • Candy: Nestle Crunch
  • Chocolate: Dark
  • Drink: Cuba Libre
  • Restaurant: The Waterfront (where I proposed to Laura)
