You were right. I did very much enjoy this.
"Popcorn and war" we sit home eating our popcorn ignorant of what is really happening out there. Some people see it as such a bore, but people are dying, and some people don't seem to care. I loved the last line. It brought it all together.

wow
my brother-in-law to be is home on furlough from Afgan. He is a different person, but still as joyful as he can be. I guess perhaps he has had to grow up very fast. He is only 23. Too much seen at such a young age.
