Its Pearl Harbor Day, 70 years ago...

To all who sacrificed on this day, seventy years ago, thank you.

One problem I have is that I am generally a stoic, and not 'enthusiastic' about very much. So this list has taken some time. Also some of it will not make sense unless you understand that it is an incomplete list of skills, and things I can and like to do.

Looking at it, the things I really like to do, I am not nearly good enough to get paid to do, at any kind of profitable level.
