Not much to report.

I'm brushing up on my French, and will get back to learning Gaelic soon (hopefully).

Another thing I did was plow through the army's official field manual for survival (all climates), evasion and escape. FM 20-71, if I remember it correctly. I'll double check tomorrow. Not only did it detail how to survive, but it also detailed what to do when capture by a [communist] enemy. Granted, the thing was written in 1969, but still, damn they're crazy for communists. It laid out in detail escape plans, as well as how to prepare for escaping from a POW camp. And then went through a very comprehensive guide of how to live off the land while evading enemy search parties and patrols, back to friendly lines.

Yes, you heard that correctly. I am to be prepared to escape from the communists and their rusty sickles, should they somehow capture and imprison me in Siberia and have me working in the gulags.

Didn't go running today--legs needed a rest. Tomorrow will be a short day...1.5 miles I should think. Just give my legs a little more rest while also getting a bit of exercise in there.

And there might be some good news to post over the next couple of days...*crosses fingers*...

Bad news: I'm going to have to miss my friend's first fight. That sucks.

Good night all.
