National Airport will always be "National" to those of us who have flown in and out of it for decades.

How are you doing? Life treating you okay?

At times I feel energetic, while on other days I'm feeling a bit weak or dizzy stumbling around and having to lean on counters, tables, and chairs. I'm working a part-time gig with flexible hours and have some other possibilities open to me if I decide to pursue them.

Energetic days to something and the bad days to another, so you can figure out what works for you? Dizziness sounds like it could be several things, maybe blood pressure issues?

Stay at it, and good luck to you!

I've monitored for adherence to my medications and glucose levels, the amount of sleep, dietary consumption, changes in physical activity, and plain old mood swings. The only thing that I've noticed is that when I feel bad it lasts two or three days in a row rather than the occasional off day. If I did find something consistent, then I'd make adjustments to either follow the pattern to keep feeling well or I would avoid whatever was making me feel ill.

And speaking of pricks, I hold little hope Mike DeWine will exhibit that sort of Christian charity.

that Ohio will accept refugees, he did a couple days ago. Shocking, I know. The base in Ohio won’t be too happy about this.

He got $15 mil for the tree that paralyzed him. But nobody else.

Feel free to correct my facts.

But the deal is: He's got a KILLER SMILE and is married to a half-Latina, so after he cuts stuff he travels to the minority Blue areas and poses for pics with hugs with the minorities and is seranaded by traitorous/oblivious mariachis!1

Not to mention stationing National Guards at the border where they can savor Tex-Mex plates, and host Ted NUGENT.
