Anniversaries

Today is Pearl Harbor Day.

This is the battleship U.S.S. Arizona in the 1930s:

And this is the U.S.S. Arizona and 1177 of her crew today:

Never forget.

Last year I was not able to do my traditional Pearl Harbor Day post, because one year ago today I was in the hospital having a minor bit of brain surgery.

In the year that has passed since, I've progressed quite well, better than expected. I will probably always require a cane to get around... but that sure beats a wheelchair, let me tell you.

I'm never going to be "normal" again, but I'm better than I was when I was at my physical lowest. I was, and continue to be, buoyed by the support of my family and friends. Thank you all.
