My day was not stellar - I've been under the weather since Saturday. Yesterday was the worst - felt weak as a kitten - short of breath. Today somewhat better, but I began to go downhill in the afternoon - called off PT this evening.

John starts life-guarding Memorial Day Weekend - that's when the pools open in this neck of the woods.

He turns 16 on June 21 - I got tickets for him and me for the Friday Evening Parade on June 22 at Marine Barracks Washington - 8th and I in D.C. I attended it in 1996 as part of a reunion with my outfit from 'Nam. It is an outstanding display of military precision - Marine Corps Band - Silent Drill Platoon, etc. He should enjoy it.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
