I'm looking forward to the new year, maybe a bit more than some of you! That means only 6-70 days before I get to come back home! Have you ever been given a week off and wondered what the heck you were going to do with all the time? Whne I'm home it flys by, but here in Korea I have to find things to do so I'm not bored to death! I can only sit at the computer so long -- I mean things that will get me out of my apartment, all by myself! It doesn't help to sit watching TV and thinking "if I were just home I could get xxxxx done!" Oh well, I signed up for it, and it could be worse. At least I'm not getting shot at or concerned about someone trying to blow me up in Korea. I'd go for a 3-4 month tour doing that rather than a year away from home in Korea though. A year away from the family is just to long! I'm sure there's a serviceman over in Iraq right now who'd love to trade places though -- it's never good when you're the one doing it! Thanks for all the well wishes from you guys, that helps a lot!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all, I look forward to another year o the AMC List!! P.S. -- I just finished up the latest issue of AIM. It should be out in a couple weeks. -- Frank Swygert Publisher, "American Independent Magazine" (AIM) For all AMC enthusiasts http://farna.home.att.net/AIM.html (free download available!)
