Rain , thunder and reminiscing


Sitting here listening to the rain , thunder and Van Morrison I think back to when I was 17 and serving aboard the USS Intrepid in the Mediterranean .There was this chief petty officer busting my ass talking about how I work. So he climbs up and lays across the desk , then says , "  This is Skelton on the night shift.".

At the same time the captain of the carrier walks in , sees him laying there and starts to rip him a new ass for being such a clown. It was all I could do to keep from peeing my pants. Sometimes there is justice ;O) 

I love the rain , thunder and reminiscing.

Family and Friends



over the last month and a half there has been a medical issue that I have been forced to deal with. the waiting is the worst. no matter how much you try to keep a positive spin on things you can't help but think of the worst but you try to prepare and ready yourself the best one can.

the cutting was the easy part and to tell you the truth I was wishing it would come as fast as possible. hopefully Tuesday , when I go back to the doctors I'll find this will all be behind me.

what made it bearable was the help and support of my family and friends. I'm forever indebted to them for their care and efforts.

Thank you and here is a little something for you all.
