Comforting Companions
This week was a short week because of the Thanksgiving Holiday. I was able to get caught up with the paperwork before getting off on Wednesday. My early morning doctor’s appointment with the orthopedic surgeon was about the best as I could expect.
I will have to get an MRI done on the shoulder to determine [...]
When and How to Fight Piracy
Let’s face it, there is no love lost with modern day pirates. Along the coast of Somalia lies one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes that handle traffic moving to and from the Suez Canal.
