At the end of the summer of 2003, I am spending my last penny1:12to fly to Greece to see my best friend get married in a Greek Orthodox church. I will be1:18the best man.

From what I have been able to piece together from him and from reading as much1:39foreign news as I can on the web, our invasion of Iraq so far has not been the best PR move we1:45have had in a while. It is safe to say that a lot of previous supporters are not as supportive1:53Between my focusing on Andrew Jordan, trying to draw a crab in between two walls,1:58thinking about the upcoming wedding, and contemplating the improbable future2:03of the United States' relationship to the world, I am cruising for a nap.2:09Firefighter Andrew Jordan's helmet told the story of his career.2:13It was gnarled, curled, twisted, smoked out, and fire damaged.2:17His wife, Lisa Jordan, said her husband was a dedicated family man.2:21He had taken their son, Andrew Jr., to Mets and Yankees games this past summer2:26and had built a small baseball park in their backyard to encourage his son's mother.← Location 318Heart Three · Location 319Location 320 →
