This goes out to my friend Davy (who's still in the Navy, and probably will be for life . . . thank you Billy Joel).
When you joined the Navy straight out of Mingus Union High School, we all thought you were NUTS! If there was anyone not suited to a regimented life, it was your stoner-rocker-long haired self. But here you are, twenty two years later, a Navy Chief, with a nice wife and a kid in COLLEGE for God's sake! While the rest of us look at still many years until retirement, you already have that retirement in the bag. Guess you were the smart one after all. You done good.
So thanks for your service, for your e-mails from all the far-flung corners of the globe, and your tales of the sea (and the port). Happy Veteran's Day!
