Colonel Loschiavo Reporting for Duty, SIR!
It’s been a long five months but I’m actually
back at work. (Well, part time, at this point.)
Though I still cannot drive, I’m working hard to
regain everything.
The last five months have been tough,
especially for Jill… and I want to thank
everyone for their kind words, cards, and
prayers. I have about a foot of cards. and the
prayers worked because there were so many
of them. They say that there are no atheists in
foxholes. It clearly applies to motorcycle
accidents, also.
Thank you, Victor, for picking up the flag and
continuing to forge ahead. (That’s what
soldiers do!) If you don’t mind… keep carrying
it until I’m driving… (hopefully, October at
some point). Until then, when is the next
Officer’s Call?
