I remember you.

Old school. Rough around the edges. Conservative with numerous shades of apoliticalness. Knowledgeable of the faith. Shoots from the hip.

Please, stay for the long haul.

LOL. Yeah, that would be me. Especially the "rough around the edges" part. ;)

Truthfully, it's been a very bumpy four or five years for me....lot of stuff from the military finally coming to the surface that I had kept buried for years; my roommate and best friend getting killed when I was overseas...never talked about except once with my Dad. A particularly nasty perimeter breach at a TAC base where there wasn't much left of the guy we cleaned up....never talked about it except, again, a couple of times with my Dad. Air raids at forward operating bases in Alaska (real close to the Soviets); EOD ops where there was every good chance of getting myself blown to smithereens; the invasion of Grenada; the Beirut barracks bombing; a lot of heavy stuff that I had repressed over the years. It finally came to a head and my wife and my sister told me I was going to get it checked out whether I wanted to or not, and the rest, as they say, is history. :)

But I'm on a more steady keel now, although, as Dirty Harry once observed, "A man's got to know his limitations", and I do---I stay away from places with crowds and loud noises, and I have learned to avoid a lot of political discussions, in order to keep my blood pressure down, LOL. And now, I'm trying to get my spiritual life repaired and back to where it should be. Getting my trauma under control (along with my physical problems) has been an all-consuming monster for the last several years, but I'm hoping to do better as I go along.

To be honest, it's really....nice!.....to be here talking with you guys again. :) Just remember that I'm just another fragile, damaged human being like everybody else. :)

Hello there Wolseley! Good to see you back. Your new place sounds very peaceful. I live in the inner city, but sometimes think a place in the country would be so calm and quiet.
I like it. :) I just got to the point where I couldn't handle the noise in the city any more---and Momma fell in love with this house, so here we are. :)
