LTC Tim Murphy has one heck of a great blog -

Murphy Around the World

It's full of great writing and wonderful pictures from the LTC's travels. A sample:

I’ve had a lot of fun in particular working with one British Officer (LTC Rob T.) from that group. We all trade good natured barbs back and forth and he keeps a running list of things that he hates about Americans. Rob commented on how cold it gets in the UK, down to 10-15 degrees. We commented that it gets -40 to -60 degrees where we're from and OFF he went, it's always colder or hotter or wetter or dryer, better, faster, higher, blah, blah in America. I think he has empire envy.

We really enjoy working with the coalition partners, though. The Brits and Australians especially send the cream of the crop to work over here, lots of experiences shared, top talent. Talking to Rob, he's been awarded the Order of St. George which is given only by the Queen. It’s the lowest award in their highest Honour system and a great achievement in the U.K. I told him if he came to a bigger country, he’d probably have stiffer competition for the awards. Now we’re all looking for the definition of tosser...

Check it out!

P.S. - I passed along the definition of "tosser"
