Your sons, the musicians who can really wail on guitars.

I was in Key West during the Cuban missile crisis, started school there at 5, I'll never forget it or the "drills" we had in school there and in Maine where we were before and after. My dad was a fly guy in Navy and had followed those weapons from origin to Cuba, it was a very tense time. The difference is that we didn't have dissent among the citizens of the country. We were all well aware of what nuclear conflict meant, it was all so new back then. I think that time was one of the things that has contributed to my lifelong PTSD.

Right now I feel numb about it all and I'm glad I'm old. Talked to my nephew yesterday about having kids, told him that this is not a good time for that. He's already forty and his fiancee is a bit younger, I hope they pass on kids, sadly.

I hope that your sons will be safe through all this.
