Time passes so quickly. It doesn't seem so long ago that 25 years ago, right now, I was part of the Invasion of Panama. In an airplane in the dark. The lines of tracers, the noises, the colors in the dark, going through the procedures and duies in myhead. It doesn't seem so long ago. Rather nostalgic and a bit drunk sitting here with some momentos and equipment. Wife is asleep. She doesn't truly understand who and what I was then. She didn't know me then. My family is unable to make the connection. To them it is getting ready for Christmas. They know, but only in a disconnected way. My past. Old comrades are with me. Thoughts of then. Remembering it all.
