Just Call Me Dr. Smith :P
Hello, Crew--
You've probably wondered where I've been for the past almost-month.
The answer is, going to a lot of doctor visits, doing a lot of physical therapy, and getting used to living with pain going down one leg and having very little sleep. I can't find a comfortable position…

Hello, folks!
I've been dealing with sciatica and so haven't been very active on here for the last few days. I didn't know what it was at first, but it's gotten to the point where even sitting is no longer always a relief, so I'm getting my spine x-rayed Thursday…

End of an Era
I suspect no one in Theta Fleet remembers a time when Elizabeth II was not the Queen of England. Hearing Prince Charles called Charles III still hits me as a bit of a shock, even though we all expected the Queen's death was not a long way off.
