    As you might imagine, these have not been the easiest of times, though God remains faithful, and I do -- finally - feel like I'm gaining on this thing. Granted, I'm still very much on borrowed time (thanks to the radiation treatments and no little prayer, I'm sure), but the fog is lifting a bit more each day, and it's good to at least regain some sense of what is going on in the world outside of my own bedroom. I've not really found the strength to venture out as yet (and even that will be a wheelchair-borne affair, at least for a while), but I'd like to think that I'll be picking up the computer just a bit more often, anyway. My eyes aren't exactly cooperating as I would like, which makes forum participation a chore, but at least the old typing skills seem to be returning. Small victories, right? LOL

    Like most of you, I've been watching the battle lines form once again in our national gun control discourse (something we have long known was coming), and waiting to see just how far afield things get carried this time. Another discussion for another time, but I'm always disappointed at the way that political expediencies force the focus upon symptoms, while completely ignoring the underlying disease.

    Don't have a lot to pass along in other news at the moment, but I just wanted to acknowledge those of you who have stayed abreast of my saga, and to let you know that I count it a privilege to be able to stand in my place among your ranks. I may remain on the fast track for Arlington, but I'm striving to make each day count until then.

    Never met you Chief, but I consider what you give in these posts of your journey priceless. Truly.

    AC,

    Thank you brother for posting. Your post is the best thing I've heard literally in the year of 2013 thus far. It's a nice ray of light in some darkening times and helps, as always, to put things into a better perspective.


    That steadfast support will always be here if you ever need a little swift kick to the tail rotor.

    God bless AC and thank you for chiming in again.

    Thumbs up

    Glad to hear you're eating that elephant one bite at a time. Keep up the good fight!

    Now I just had to quickly point out:

    This is good.

    Hmm...this is not so good.


    So with that we realize we have a contradiction of sorts. I say we pick our direction, fly the hell out of this nightmare and get back to everything. Forget Arlington, it can and will wait.
