I'm in my basement in Georgia telling people how to get into the airport. I'm giving them contact with a driver that can get them through the 82nd and Blackgate. Um, Jess is on the phone with Afghan women. They're screaming and crying and praying, and Dari and Jess is praying in English, two totally different religions, but just trying to get the same thing done. It was a very surreal experience.

Wow. Um, I'm less than two years clean at this point in time.

Like literally within 45 days time, I've gone from running my business and trying to find some purpose in life. We're waiting on the IRS to approve Flanders. So I can't do a lot other than fly my old buddy to treatment. And now I'm in chats with like super duper bad asses. And.
