Good evening gentleman. I just wanted to say it is great to be back in the USA, I got back about 3 weeks ago. I still feel like crap, cannot sleep, I am cranky as hell, I duck at every sound above a feather dropping, having my 6 and 9 year old around does not make it easy in that regard but they ar the only thing to make me smile. I guess it will take another month or so to get back to normal. But, never again. I am 60+ now and my little adventure took at least 10 years off my life. I am not sure how our people do it. But I did kiss the ground when I got home. I do see not much has changed here, that is a good thing and I am glad to be back amongst friends. My memory is shot, every part of me aches, it is 40 degrees in Florida 30 at night. I heard it is only 40 in the Bahamas, I need a vacations spot. Maybe if I must be in the cold somewhere in the mountains of North Carolina, a nice cabin about 30 miles from the nearest town and well provisioned with lots of grey goose and a thimble of vermouth. Oh and I cannot forget the cocktail onions.
