And now I read oodles. I read so much. I library the heck of of life. I happily buy authors I want to support. I am realizing how much fiction has changed since I last knew her.
She's aged well (mostly).

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.
