Homeward Bound

This was where we spent our evening last night while the boss celebrated his birthday. Just thought y'all would like the photo with all 5 aircraft in the frame.

This morning we're flying back to Quantico and we actually got an early start, which my wife was happy to hear!

We stopped at a Starbucks on our way in and I saw a young man with a big book on leadership by John Stott, I think it was “Basic Christian Leadership." After I got my blueberry muffin and OJ (my classic traveling breakfast) I went over and told him “may the Lord bless your studies, brother!" and noticed he was in Numbers of all places… He said thanks, and I gave him one of my cool HMX-1 cards with my email and a photo of the mighty battle phrog on the back… As I walked out the door, I said “I will see you again." And whether he emails or I ever run into him at a Starbucks outside Chicago or anywhere else here on earth, I believe I really will see him again – when we both get home.

It was pretty cool to meet another warrior this morning on the way to fly home who is homeward bound as well…

Peace,
Adam
