Hey everybody, just got back from a Customs Conference in Washington DC. First time this week I've been on and I think I have a lot of catch up reading to do. 

Washington was amazing and every one should try to get there during their life time.
Went to the Vietnam War memorial to put my hands on my brothers name, something I've waited 40 years to do. Of course I cried but then I do that from time to time without being in Washington.

Now my really good news! I got antsy yesterday and called my Dr. office to see if they had been trying to call me and I was approved. We chatted a bit and they got in touch with the hospital and I have a date. October 29th.  I am so ready to move forward with this.

Oh yeah, and while I was in DC, I was with a friend from the UK.  She eats with the back of her fork in her left hand and a knife in her right.  Guess what, it helps you to slow down and take very small bites.  You can balance much less on the back of the fork.  I'm going to try this for a while and see if it makes a difference.

Well, I'm off to the gym everyone have a great day.

Congratulations on the approval

The wall in DC is a very moving experience.  I am sorry your brother was one of the war's fatalities.  It is men like him that have my ultimate respect for their service to our country.

Congratulations on getting the date for the beginning of your new life.

That fork trick sounds interesting, only I have to switch them as I eat left-handed.  I may have to try it though!

Have a spectacular day!

 

Tell someone that you love them!
