I'm literally choked up. John Glenn passed away today. The last Mercury Seven astronaut, a shuttle astronaut at 77, WWII & Korean War veteran pilot, Senator and husband of 73 years. Generally one of the last great American heroes. "Zero G, and I feel fine." A very nice write up on him: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/12/john-glenn/john-glenn.html

A hero full stop. The world is a sadder place. RIP.

I'm about ready for 2016 to be over with. It's been a rough year.

Fair winds and a following sea, sir, on your way to the Lord.
