I shared this once before, but I can repeat.

One of the most memorable moments for me was back in Iraq. We were going through a string of hard times and tough luck. All us Officer types were swamped with work to do and you could see everyone dragging. We finished up a particularly long meeting and I just threw out the idea of having a cigar. Everyone seemed to jump at the thought. I brought my humi up to the Battalion area and about 15 or so of us guys all sat down and lit one up. We BS'd for a good two hours, leaving Iraq out of the conversation entirely. Following the herf, we all went back to work and all the nonsense was back. Those few hours were a damn good time though.

In a future prediction, lighting a cigar up on the day my second child is born will be very memorable for me. I wasn't able to do that for the first kid....definitely going to make it happen for the second.
