Sorry again on blog. New personal assistant (and former partner) Steff Hedenkamp is working on a site shift. For now we make do.

Catching up: after Norfolk trip, flew Wed night in blizzard to KC and then driven on to Fort Leavenworth.

Thurs I got the royal treatment at the base, thanks to commanding general LGEN Dave Petraeus. 8 hours of briefs and interviews, then dinner.

Fri was office interview with Petraeus, then brief to about 800 students of Command and General Staff College (along with the "Jedi Knights"). Rocking audience got a rockin' performance. Then another sit-down with Petraeus, then long lunch with him and Jedi, then another interview in MacArthur room. One last brief and then out the door, enjoying dinner with KC-based Steff before late flight home.

Today was just check out house (plastering all done) and then drive with family to Cincy. Most to see "Phantom," while I babysit youngest in nice hotel.

Now to write the Esquire piece before Xmas!
