Your Green Eyes

 Your Green Eyes, My Forever


Your green eyes haunt me—gentle flame,

A quiet spark that knows my name.

They catch me when I try to stray,

And kiss the fears I hide away.


 In every glance, the world slows down,

The chaos folds, the noise unwound.

They hold the calm of summer rain,

And whisper love without refrain.


 I see them not in haunted dreams,

But in the stars’ forgiving beams—

Not specters, no, but something true:

A silent vow from me to you.

Sarcoidosis

In case you have not heard, I am battling a disease called Sarcoidosis. I seem to have contracted a fairly bad case. For information on this disease, please go to http://WWW.stopsarcoidosis.org . I plan on starting to post again, but I wanted to raise awareness of this disease. Please read and consider donating to help find a cure. This is a side note posted today, June 5, 2025. I still suffer from chronic sarcoidosis. Most of my issues have been neural. The biggest being small fiber neuropathy, a condition more recently associated with sarcoidosis. It has caused a lot of numbness in my feet, hands, and face.  Since this original post, there have been many changes, and I ended up on disability. I get IVIG treatments through a port in my chest two days every other week to control the issues in addition to several daily meds.  Most people go into remission with sarcoidosis. I may have started a time or two, but it always returns with a vengeance if not treated.  If you see ...

The 80s Continued

The 80’s Continued The Reenlistment Period I’m finally back at the keyboard. I concluded one entry with the “Animal House” in Dale City, Virginia, and my move. I then took a detour to Santa Barbara. Now, I’ll try to refocus after my relocation. It was an intriguing, albeit somewhat perplexing, period for me. So, let’s delve in. Before I venture too far, I’d like to briefly acknowledge the best man from my wedding and his family. I met them quite early on my arrival in the DC area. We had been on a bowling team together. When I first moved to Dale City, we would occasionally visit each other for barbecues or just to catch up. After I moved out of “Animal House,” I became a more frequent visitor. We even went fishing together. I would help him with his side jobs. I spent a lot of time with his wife and kids at picnics and even short trips around Virginia. I would be at their house almost every Sunday I didn’t travel and some Saturdays. It would be a disservice not to mention them. Now...

The 80’s…1988: A Year of Confusion

Image
The 80’s 1988: A Year of Confusion 1988 was one of the most confusing years of my life. It was a rollercoaster ride with extreme ups and downs. The year ended well, but getting to that point took a lot of twists and turns. It was emotionally charged in so many ways that I doubt I can fully convey what transpired. Nevertheless, I started this 80’s mess, so I’ll persevere. Let’s briefly revisit the very end of 1987. As I mentioned in my last entry, my wife (then girlfriend, obviously) and I had split up. It made for an unpleasant Christmas for me. Alison accompanied me to New York in the late fall. My grandmother fell in love with her. All I could hear was how could I let such a lovely girl go. This made Christmas uncomfortable since it was out of my control. So, I returned earlier than planned and went back to work. The New Year started poorly. I called my wife in mid-January to check on her. She was blunt and asked why I called. It was a short call. I figured that was the end. It seeme...
