"Yes, it sure was. Guess what the topic for tomorrow will be? ;-)"

....uh..lemme see. How many guesses do I get? :-)

Sixty-one years ago today I was 12 years old and finishing up my first year at a military school, and became an under-age enlistee in 1946, leaving the service before the next war started. Always wished I stayed. I've felt like a fish out of water ever since. Even today, at 73, I'd like to be able to climb that gangplank just one more time and say, "Permission to come aboard, Sir!"

Great idea, here, AntiJen. I'll surely be visiting. Thanks, JimRob.

A word of warning about tomorrow, it's going to be a rather long and detailed opening post.
