My draft number in 1969 was 360

a high number, a get out of the army free card...who could be thought to deserve such, and what wonderful thing could they have done?

I don't know. but whatever muse has steadfastly guaranteed me continuance in my life was in perfect control today.

I could not dare to dream I would feel so good so soon. as in, kicks butt over yesterday! and talk about your longshot horse coming in at 10000 to 1, the Scwannorama (as Dan Jones called it) was not even on a cranial nerve, but some unnamed non player that only carries sensation. I think my earlobe will be permanently numb.
the rest of me now...no pain reliever since this morning, feels just like me.

yah. scary news for all, that.

I'm not doing much online today. but twenty five year shadows are
disappearing.
it feels amazingly relieving.

  1. Well this is all just exactly what we expected from you, My Man. Nice going. Can't wait to talk to you (soon, we hope).

    BTW my draft lottery number in that same year (the very first lottery) was 365, so I beat ya. unfortunately at the time I was 6 months into a 4 year Navy active duty committment. And the rest is history.
