In 2016, we recognize the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7. There were more than 3,500 Americans who died or were wounded on that solemn day. I very recently saw a woman on TV who was a child then and remembers actually seeing the faces of the pilots in the fighter planes. I suppose I've heard that before but it never hit me like it did this time. It's hard to imagine that she even survived. It's just a reminder to always remember what happened that day and how it shaped our country.
My happy news today is that I got a new electric fireplace/media center and just in the nick of time. The next few days will be very cold here (by Houston standards) and I need all the heat I can get. My circulation seems to get worse every year and so I'm thrilled to have a place to warm my hands whenever I need to. Just hoping this won't drive my electric bill up, but I may just bite the bullet and pay up. And I'm going to New York in February?
