...back to a serious discussion...

Last Monday night PBS aired a two-hour show that was one of the best things I've seen on TV in years. The name of the show was "Return With Honor," and it was about the men who were prisoners in Vietnam. It was mostly 20 former prisoners telling their stories. Their words were so real, so serious and heroic, and yes, also humorous...just unbelievable. You can read about it at the PBS site, but this is no substitute for actually watching the program. I still remember many of the statements various men made, and I'll look for the program again.

Makes my year (14 months beginning in 1993) look unimportant. I was downsized twice, diagnosed with MS, resigned a 3rd job I hated, and lost my insurance. Things eventually got better.
