Today I got a call from Offspring #1 aboard the USS Nimitz. This was actually my second call from the ship but today was different because a) I felt better and b) I finished watching the first of three documentary disks about the USS Nimitz. I could hear background noise as we talked and in my mind I am imagining the catapult throwing jets into the air. Those catapults are really loud and even though Offspring #1's bunk is two decks below he can hear the catapult when it is used. He works very long days and is able to sleep over the noise but I would hazard to say his sleep is not as restful as it could be. Despite the long distance and the background noise, we had a pretty good connection. There is a time delay so sometimes we would both start talking at once or both wait for the other one to speak. Crazy to get a call from the Persian Gulf; crazy and wonderful.
