    Some people have erroneously posted on line that I'm "stage four"
    I am NOT. It was caught very early and I'm going to be here for a long time.
    I posted this video for two reasons:
    1) to head off comments telling me I look tired/bad/etc.
    2) to get out in front of the lies stalkers will tell.

      Panama Invasion. Long forgotten by most. I've always wondered what possessed a group of junior officers who should have known better to go out on the town. Things were tense enough even in July 1989 that we weren't allowed to leave Rodman unless it was on the little jitney bus that went back and forth between the bases. Options were to be on a US base, on the jitney in transit between bases, or on the ship.
      I'm afraid that Rodman Panama didn't quite make my top ten list of awesome places to go pierside for a week.

      Exactly, even watching this now and hearing him say he doesn't want any sympathy or even mentions of it, like that's fine, it shows how strong he is, and it reminds us that we are all just online viewers who don't know him personally, but I think it's crazy to not say anything because this is as serious as it can get, if I'm being honest. This is, in all likelihood, a terminal diagnosis, and this is his whole life we're talking about! Even the strongest people deserve some support when it gets this tough and I just hope he has that support in his personal life.

      Is that what "Bald Eagle BBQ Club" means? "A man's man?" Granted, that saying could also just mean a PARTICULARLY manly man who is above-average in manliness than generally seen, which seems accurate here, but at the same time I tried to look up that BBQ Club thing and I couldn't find ANYTHING!
      Is it an American thing, like suggesting that someone likes to BBQ bald eagles, which I imagine in America is basically an EVIL thing to do or not far off. Apparently it's 'of least concern' with the population currently 'growing,' from what I can see, so I'm glad it's not endangered, but still I hear bald eagles are VERY important in America and I think I heard something to do with the feathers? Like it might be illegal to own them because they're owned by the Natives, or something? I dunno, but it was interesting to hear.
