I keep watching CNN in the mornings and they seems to always ask: “When will we get back to normal?” I don’t know about the rest of the US, but the people around me seem about there now.

Ben still talks on the phone all the time. We still watch sports. The only thing different is that we know we will be at war soon. Life does and will go on, and it seems that the media is trying to slow it down so we don’t forget to watch the news.
