I was certain that something significant was wrong on 08 January 04 when those pressure headaches began, but the unmistakable verification of the presence of a large brain tumor on the MRI film was still surreal. My mind quickly became clouded; everything I knew was suddenly in doubt. 30 January 04 was long ago, and yet here I am today, looking forward to the next eight years.<br><br></p> <p><font face=Arial color=Blue size=2><b>Saturday, 28 January 12 </b></font><br><font face=Arial color=Black size=2>The movie <i>Red Tails</i> features the Tuskegee airmen and their P51 Mustangs from World War II. Go and see this flick if you get a chance. The animation that presents hundreds of B-17s, P-40s, Me109s and Me262s in the air over Germany in 1944 is very well-done. Seeing these red tail P51s on the silver screen tonight reminded me of my trip to Ohio in September 2007 for the <a href="gathering.htm" target="legends"><i>Gathering of Mustangs and Legends</a></i> event.<br><br></p> <p><font face=Arial color=Blue size=2><b>Friday, 27 January 12 </b></font><br><font face=Arial color=Black size=2>I dusted off my <a href="dusted.htm"> 1976 Trans Am</a> and took her out for a spin today.
