Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
I am fanatical about freedom. I am fanatical about our Constitution. I am fanatical about our Armed Forces. I am fanatical about an optimistic future for our country because I am fanatical about its founders and the history that has come from them. I am fanatical about learning from our country's grotesque mistakes and brilliant victories.
This remains the last great hope of Man on Earth, as Reagan said. On this Independence Day weekend, let's remember that the revolution was begun by a small group of committed individuals and continues to this day. This country is great because of freedom, and freedom is worth sacrifice.
Life, liberty and PURSUIT of happiness. Yeah.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
