To: Kathy in Alaska; All
Here's a clink of the wine glass to my wife's nephew, currently stationed aboard the USS Carl Vinson, location: Out There Somewhere, and to all those who serve. A belated Happy Thanksgiving ('cept you Mountain and Pacific folks), and a proactive Merry Christmas to them and all my fellow Freepers!

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
