Broke my heart when she was decommissioned. Never served on her USS Coral Sea CVA47. Ships Sec Force.
Threw a Ensigns shot record over the side. Tried to make me clean Butt Kicks.

Yeah, and she can't be a museum. She was built around the reactor. No way to remove it. There's been talk of saving the island, but a fairly recent pic showed it already partially dismantled. BTW, my first ship was USS Yorktown, CV(S)10, now a museum in Charleston, SC, coincidentally my last duty station. I got to take my family aboard ~34 years after my 6 month deployment in 66.

Perfect. And folks around these parts who see the transcription in the Real Book and say, let's play this. Believe I heard Dweezel is doing a Hot Rats tour soon.

What lives we lead, and what we go through. Thor himself could not win a match with age Elli - Wikipedia

Was about a half a lifetime ago for me when I had a small stash of micro Tabasco bottles. Monday morning commute means a 4-5 hour flight. Always order the omelette. This is in steerage class, they used to serve hot breakfast to everyone back then. Tabasco to the rescue. No clue where the micro bottles came from, and quite forgotten how I came into them. Made my Mondays.

And while it wasn't my actual physical life on the line, I was being dropped into someone's world of pewp. Lots and lots of money on the line, which directly translates to do whatever it takes to get back home safely on Friday. The routine of travel becomes something of a comfort.

What we don't care for is when the routine of medical ....

It's been said before in this thread and I will add to it. Getting older ain't always fun.

Tomorrow I check into the local cancer center for infusion therapy. I am NOT dealing with the big C. Rather, I am dealing with other health issues that are typically treated in the same facility.

I get to be treated with heavy duty immunosuppressants via IV. I get the same treatment 2 weeks out, 4 weeks out, and then every 8 weeks thereafter.

Assuming I feel like it, I'll check in tomorrow evening.

"Age" is the singularly most difficult diagnosis I've been given.

That was 2-3 years ago as the doctor said, "arthritis". I must have appeared incredulous, because I was. And she replied, "you're old."

And never had thought of it that way, for that's not really how I see myself. And yet ...

Sorry to hear this. The only thing I've experienced that is possibly worse is getting hit with an autoimmune disease (MS) in what should be the prime of your life. This happened to my wife after the birth of our son. It's a nasty, capricious disease in that you don't know what mix of symptoms each new day will bring. I used to give her injections of Interferon B (sp?). Unfortunately, I got pretty good at it. Hang in there - where there is life, there is hope!

Yeh, not supposed to hear my elbow when I bend my arm. If I were supposed to, it would have been in some lyrics I know. Hey, wait ....
