April 20th

Hello all.

There are some new names on the list this year, so for those of you who have never gotten one of these, today marks the 22nd anniversary of the day I got back from Desert Storm.  I take this day, every year to try to thank all the friends and family who have been a significant part of my life, which you have. 

I get nervous this time of year, reading and re-reading over the list of emails, worrying that I’ve left someone out, which I inevitably do.  I even included Alwynne this time, even though she doesn’t really know how to check email yet. 

I say to you now though, that of all the ways I’ve been lucky in my life, and there have been many, I am most fortunate with those people who have entered my life. 

So, I thank you again.

Happy April 20th
