Sorry for not keeping up with all of you these past years. I look forward to that time when Time and Space can be collapsed or it’s impediment greatly reduced. Yes, on one level I am very greedy with my time. My adventureous self will cause me to seek out the next couriosity; often at the expense of relationships of present & past.

Know this - there are days I miss your company and can not wait until we meet again. Today I think of you and remember your gifts of Love, Compassion, Wisdom, Inspiration and Affirmation. I pull on these deeply rich and bittersweet memories more than I care to admit.

It is in this hope that I leave you until we meet again. Thank you, Love you, Peace to You.

Clarification: All is well on this end. Life could not be better. I’m just taking this moment to speak for posterity’s sake.

Gray hair represents one’s wisdom, translucent hair means your divine and normal color means your still naively human.

Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станислав Евграфович Петров) (born c. 1939) is a retired Russian Strategic Rocket Forces colonel who, on September 26, 1983, averted a potential nuclear war by refusing to believe that the United States had launched missiles against the USSR, despite the indications given by his computerized early warning systems. The Soviet computer reports were later shown to have been in error, and Petrov is credited with preventing World War III and the devastation of much of the Earth by nuclear weapons. Because of military secrecy and international policy, Petrov’s actions were kept secret until 1998.

This incident is one of several high-risk decisions that were made by strategic nuclear forces over the years of the Cold War, often at the last minute, by administrative personnel far from the chain of command.
