One interesting challenge of being suddenly and unexpectedly deployed by the Army Reserve: I have all these Groupons to spend.

You see, thinking that I would be around this summer and funemployed, I began taking advantage of Groupons for my city over the past 6 months in preparation. Now I have 2 weeks to spend them all.

I've got an appointment to have my teeth whitened. I just bought 4 cases of an assortment of wines. I have several dinners to go out to. And $40 worth of assorted beers to purchase and consume. All by the middle of March.

¡Salud!
