Terminator: The UV Chronicles

Arnold Schwarzenegger I was sitting on a curb, drinking my morning coffee about a hundred meters down the hill from my house when an electrically-charged, transparent orb appeared in the middle of the street. As it faded away, a naked man appeared who looked suspiciously like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I was shocked when I saw him punch the lights out of nearby Filipino, just to take his clothing from him.

My Wife's Continuing Health Problems

I and my wife are extremely close, more so than the average couple in my opinion. Despite our language differences, and I won't get into that right now, we've had no serious relationship problems in almost 25 years (more than 23 of that as a married couple). Still, the events of the last few years have been taxing on both of us.

I'd like to give you a rundown of these events so that you can see where I'm coming from. This will probably end up being one of my longest posts.
