No worries. I'm still here.
Gosh, I feel so out of the loop. It’s not school or work this time. It’s a trip to OTB land. Yes, I’m headed to DC for a VRWC Meeting an Air Force reunion for some of us who were stationed in Berlin before the fall of the infamous wall. This particular one is held each year, but it will be my first time attending. It’s been some fifteen years since I’ve seen many of these people, so I’ve had to get ready.
I can’t do anything about the fact that I weigh a good twenty-five pounds more than I did in 1990--well I can't do anything about it in two days--but I’m not sweating it. It used to be forty-five. Otherwise, the visage has held up pretty well over the years (I had a facial just to be on the safe side). Black don’t crack.
Serious stuff tomorrow, then I'm off (pun intended). BTW, it will be the first time I've been an airline passenger since well before 9/11.
