'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
American Jewistas: Is there a Jewish custom analogous to the Christmas "brag letter"? It's a long story, but now I'm really curious(And, yes, that does relate to the Emanuels.)
Not really. Some people send out that sort of letter with December holiday cards. I think that Rosh Hashanah cards have been around for longer than Chanukah cards (I've seen pictures of Rosh Hashanah cards from around 1900 or so), and writing in a few sentences about what everyone's up to is relatively common.
Awww....
Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum was ordered to Iraq in July. His four-year-old daughter Paige had a hard time letting go, so much that she held onto his hand in formation. No one, including the commanding officer, had the heart to pull her away. The picture of the incident, taken by Paige’s mother, has gone viral and touched people all over the country.

That picture's worth more than a thousand words.
It really is. Geez.
In slightly lighter leaving-for-Iraq news, we had two units leave Salt Lake the other day. However, one of the officers discovered he still had the only set of car keys on him, so they had to turn his helicopter around and come back to base so he could give the keys to his wife. I imagine he's going to be hearing about that for months.
Oh that picture.
