how are things with you?

Things are peachy-keen my way, sunny but coolish out west, but, hey it's October.

[left that other site]

That’s the only remedy. Along with the wonder-drug Sumitriptin and hot herbal packs. AND IT STILL TAKES HOURS!

I’m all better now. My theory is it was triggered by a massive traffic jam on I95 today in which i was caught for hours in the baleful tropical sun in the brightest part of the afternoon. Even though I had the A/C in the car, ther was no escaping the photons.

We're in Indian Summer today - high of 88F this afternoon.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

We had a chilly morning as well. But, climbed to mid 80s so it wasn’t a bad day at all.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

HN Edwin Gonzalez, USN, 2nd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Forces, Atlantic, KIA Afghanistan 8OCT2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Flowers of the Forest



Black Watch Piper

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Thanks for the post.

I did my MOS training at APG. At that time (1975), there was a small Marine Detachment on the base. Only about 60 of us Marines on that huge Army base.
