I am going to be leaving Monday for a year of fun in the Middle East for Uncle Sam. I am should have access to the internet once I get settled in, but it may be a couple of weeks. I won't be kicking in doors or in any kind of danger whatsoever, so please don't worry about me (unless Iran does something dumb, then I could be in trouble). I hope to be back this time next year for the start of race season. Maybe we'll even have some Chevy Volts on the road by then so nobody has to think about the middle east ever again.

For more info on my deployment, see this article: http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-fg-us-iran31-2010jan31,0,4832460.story
