August 2, 2007

The war counsel convened yet again today and gave the "green light" for the 1st Chemo division to begin penetration at 0830 hrs on Aug 3rd. The initial insertion should last for about 8 hours and then be continuous for the next five days. The Dept of Defense (ENT) wanted to begin with both the 1st Chemo Division and nuclear bombardment but this plan could not be implemented for at least another week if not two.

Therefore the Joint Chiefs of Staff agreed to begin a ground assault as soon as possible and if significant gains are not made in the next two weeks then the ground assault will retreat and the nuclear bombardment will begin immediately. In the meantime the final groundwork for that operation will be completed during the asault by the 1st Chemo Division.

Hey Tom,

I had asked Darren in an e-mail how you were doing, and he sent
me a link to your blog. I read
what you have so far and it is
very informative. You have been
through so much already, in such
a short time.... When Cathy and
Darren told us that you had been
diagnosed with cancer, I could hardly believe it, considering how health conscience you have been.
We just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you. If you need anything, don't hesistate to give us a call! 623-594-2456

Love in Christ,
