Long time no see

Hey folks. As the title says: long time no see. I hope all is well.

A lot has happened since last I saw you, both personally and societally. My husband, JY, and I have permanently relocated to Texas and spend our time in there (daughter and three granddaughters) and Arizona (sons #1 and #3 and six grandchildren) and California (son #2; no grandchildren - yet - so he doesn't get as much of our attention. Recently married, so hopefully that situation changes soon.)

As I spoke of at the time, son #1 was at Kabul for the fall as a then-captain in the USMC. Last year he was interviewed for a documentary called The Path to Zero: The Withdrawal From Afghanistan, and it was recently released on the Wall Street Journal YouTube channel.

Since I spent so much time with all of you during those grim days, I thought of all of you and thought you might be interested. Son #1 is the bald guy with an impressive beard. And he's the only one who swore in the entire hour; I regret to inform you that I swore quite a bit while watching. I thought he and the other Marines interviewed did a good job speaking about a difficult time.

Regardless of whether you know me, remember me, or don't care about me, the documentary is worth your time.

Thank you!

Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
