The last 4 months is the longest Ive spent inside America over the last 2 years. Due to my premature departure from Afghanistan I was hoping to use this time to establish a steady sustainable lifestyle that would give me the stability and mental clarity to not need to return to Kabul. Well its looking like that was a wash and I am now in the twilight of my extended stay in America. The initial homecoming and the month of April was spent with helping friends check into rehab or trying to stop them from checking out on life. In May I moved thru Europe like Patton on a blitzkrieg of European cities waxing philosophically and dropping panties like mix-tapes. Preparing for my real mission… Operation June. A Pan-California adventure with my children which was the first time I genuinely smiled while home… July had been spent trying new opportunities not only in the work place but also with the heart. August thus far I am completing another trek with my children this one to New Orleans #NOLA where we spent the time with family and catching some culture. After an amazing summer I feel fat, restless and I can see that “Winter is coming” so I will spend these next 3 weeks settling affairs, binging on love and traveling to Guatemala to dig a well to spread peace before I go back to War. Recently I had my Canadian friends tell me I come out like a bottle of Johnny Blue and it makes the occasion special. What they fail to realize is I they are not the only ones. Everyone in my life gets a limited amount of time with me. So when together we drink and taste the best of each other and once the bottle is empty I leave to start the aging process again.

To anyone I have met in my travels over the past few months wether we shared a night or a month together I was genuine for my time is finite and I only enjoy the best in all things. Everyone should…
