Another search term driving traffic to the site is “Rick Leventhal”. Apparently, I am not the only one considering becoming a Rick Leventhal groupie. Maybe it’s the fatigue, but he seems to be the most relaxed of the embedded reporters and he appears to have a sense of humor. His favorite MRE is chicken noodle and this morning he traded cheese spread for peanut butter and something else for jelly and had peanut butter and jelly on crackers for breakfast. Little things like that make a big difference to me. The screenwriter (and Geraldo’s infamous sand drawing) are jibberish to me. Even the firefights look so much like old Combat shows. Rick makes it real for me. Once it becomes real through that little detail then the rest of it -- like the fighting -- also becomes real.

You do have a following out here. I love your reports. I now have my husband enjoying your reports.
I wish you had your own show on FOX. Weekly reports with Rick Leventhal.
Sounds good. How can we get Fox to get it up and going. You could take Greta's time slot.
