Welcome Home, Brother, and thank you for your service!

Back at your bros!

Marines, eh?

Guess your tour was little more "exiting" than mine in Saigon, (Linguist/Military Intelligence) though I did move around country (debriefing Chieu Hoi/Pows) quite a bit (as well as the occasional foray into Laos and Cambodia) and had my "moments" which used to cause an increase the "pucker factor" which I'm sure you know what I mean. lol

God Bless!

Thanks very much, ladies, for tonight's Road Trip to Joint Base Pearl Harbor - Hickam - Hawaii!

*HUGS*

I'm running a malware program on my desktop at the moment. I'm in safe mode, and the malware doesn't work in here. I hope to have this problem resolved by tomorrow night.

I went to see the Pain Dr. today. He put me on Gralise - a neural pain med I take nightly with dinner, and on the Butrans patch - once weekly. He also provided me with a back brace - makes it easier to stand up and less painful to walk. He's prescribed pool walking for me at least twice a week. I'm hopeful that this will improve things.

I found it hilarious that two composers who probably had serious reservations about each other’s music became fast friends over the issue of getting paid.

Periods of utter boredom punctuated by moments of great excitement - lots of anxiety in between.

As far as I'm concerned, if you had boots on the ground in 'Nam, you're worthy of great respect. There were no front lines there - even in the so-called "secured areas" you were in danger. And thanks to the media, Academia, and numerous of our politicos, the "conventional wisdom" regarding the Vietnam War is far from the truth. But you know that.

Gotta keep punching - the Leftist Bastards are in the process of taking another victory from us. Damn them all to Hell!

God Bless our Valiant Troops!

Good evening, Maestro! The Symphonic Dances are excellent pieces, but I'm forever hooked on Rocky II - in my opinion probably the greatest piano concerto ever composed. Never tire of listening to it, particularly the Third Movement.

Thanks very much, Jinxie! And thanks for your service - the Cold War was a long and arduous struggle. The Cold Warriors did a great job in a very dangerous conflict. And they brought us through to victory over the vaunted Soviet Union. Good on you, Brother!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!




Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!
