Today is the 235th birthday of the U.S.M.C. ! The biggest bash will probably be held at the headquarters Marine Corp in Arlington, Virginia (better known by the sailors as Disneyland East). OORAH!

I could hardly wait for the election day to get here: An end to all the signs and slanderous TV/Radio spots, but most of all, a chance to cast my vote.. The night before I felt a little twinge in my lower back.?Election day I woke and couldn't get out of bed without help. It's something that hits me every 2 or 3 years and last for about 10 days. But the majority of voters took up the slack and gave us a new sheriff.

Micki and I are having quite a time. I can barely walk with a can, and she has a broken left arm. Preparing meals and cleaning up is as chaotic as a three ring circus.

I'm sure going to miss Dr.?Robbin. I wish him the best of everything. A lot of people are upset.

Sailors have more fun! most of the time.
