Long time lurker, first time to comment [View all]

I apologize If I don't comment more, but I have stage 4, terminal laryngeal cancer and don't always feel strong enough to engage. I may have engaged in a reply a long time ago, but I really don't remember. As I get nearer to my pull-date I will try to engage more, but understand I'm not a troll, or a bot, or whatever you good folk refer to folks who lurk for more sinister reasons. I'm just a tired old man with a terminal illness who enjoys reading about those who fight the good fight and keep going. You guys give me hope for a future I won't get to see. Oh, and for the record,
FUCK TRUMP!
