That is a great story. Way to go. Are you written up anywhere? It's very inspirational.

If it is, ma sempu, I've never seen it. I have been written about for other things that I AM aware of, but what I was talking about, is too strung out over both time, and territory for anyone to have been able to piece it together, and I really didn't want to make a real big deal about it.
Ateyo and I getting legally married by the State of Texas, due to a decision that was made in another case on the 1990, giving us a loophole large enough to drive a deuce-and-a-half through, and FORCE the State of Texas to give two women, a "Straight" Marriage License", and the Veteran's Administration to recognize her as my Dependent, got us on the front page of a couple of Newspapers, and the story to go as far as Holland to the east, and Austrailia to the west though.

So I'm addicted to the new TV series 'Touch', interesting enough the main character, is named 'Jake' and even though he doesn't actually talk in the show, and the only way he communicates is through numbers, its his voice that opens and closes the show with a prolog. This weeks was about connectivity.

Jake: "490,000 babies will be born today. Each one of them a link in the greater human chain. And the moment their umbilical cord is severed they will become an individual, their own hopes, dreams and desires. But in fact each one of us is actually made up of a dozen systems, which in turn comprise 60 trillion cells and those cells house countless protiens, DNA open house. What appears to be an individual in actually a network. Each one of us is in fact a living breathing community, but it doesn't stop there. Why would it? Every individual hope you harbor, every dream you attain, every desire you fulfill has an impact far greater than you can imagine. At least that's how it looks from where I'm sitting"

"The threads that connect us are not bound by space or time. What seems to the individual that could twist a fate, from another perspective, is simply one of those threads pulled tight. How things should have been all along. Even when those threads seem irreprably frayed, they never break, not completely. But sometimes the most important connection is here and now."

"Its only 'here' that we lose perspective, out at the Cosmic Consciousness Level things get a lot clearer. For example, there is an actual star pattern that is traced in the shape of a Willow Tree, across the breadth of the Milky Way! And no wonder Indigenous peoples refer to the 'here after' as the Happy Hunting Grounds! Has it ever occured to anyone why the bioluminescence dots, on the Na'vi!"

After being introduced by a mutual friend, the first words out of her mouth were "What Nation", and when I told her "Tsalagi", she invited me to go with her to a "Two spirit" Pow-Wow.
We have been together, and deleriously happy ever since.

Wernher Von Braun aimed for the stars; unfortunately, he sometimes hit London.

I think that was the life lesson.

The life lesson is Aim Low.

Unless you mean to ask what situation put him in the place to think that?

That way you're never surprised when things don't work out!
