September 11, came and there were a number of events throughout the city of San Diego, just as I am sure there are all over the country. Even with those events, in place to allow those, who were killed by this terrorist attack, to be remembered and, to honor those who stepped up to do what they could to show that this country remains strong. I am very proud of Jason and what he has done, serving the nation in the capacity he has, and he continues to impress me, and others with all that he continues to do.

This morning we went over to his training, and then I took the girls to their Child Development Center (CDC). I had a few things to take care of in the morning, and at about 11:00 Jason called me (and txt'd me) to let me know he was ready for pick up. We had lunch and then I called Linda, so she could hear the news... Jason has invited both of us to the Marine Ball, coming up in November. This is really a big thing, as neither of us has ever been to one, so you can imagine that Linda was pretty excited about it. I'm pretty happy about it as well, and expect that it will be a fun event for all of us.

Once we got home we had a chance to do a little relaxing, and to take care of a few other things. I was hoping to get MS Office working on the computer, but the "key" that MS said I have to use was damaged, so I now have to try to work with them via the phone, rather than  being able to go back to Best Buy to get a new key. By the time I found out what I actually had to do I found out that I had to call them by 17:00 (5pm) and it was 17:15 (5:15pm) when I found this out. Now I am going to have to attempt it again tomorrow. In my opinion, MS has far too much influence and power in this country, but that's my opinion.

Tomorrow will be another day of training for Jason and then back to the house. Finally Friday will be the last day and then we can get to next week, and back to a more "normal" setting and routine. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers, and take care and stay positive.

    What an honor to be invited to the ball! Looking forward to seeing pictures!

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next.&quo
