Duty, Loyalty, Integrity, and Courage.
What are you loyal to above all else? I received a lovely Secret Santa gift yesterday, a writer's prompt book. Today, I rolled some random numbers to decide which prompt to write on and this is what the universe came up with. I laughed, because this question is so relevant in my life right now, considering the things that are happening to me at work, the time of year, and the hardships I can’t seem to shake.

I Stand for The Flag
At 0800, I jumped out and down from my big diesel redneck rig. As soon as my feet hit the pavement, I hear 'morning colors' start to play in the distance. I immediately turn smartly to the direction the music is coming from and stand quietly at attention while paying my respects to the Flag and National Anthem. It's been a while since I've had to render this required military custom. I have been retired from the U.S. Navy for over 3 years now, and just over a year ago, I took a position as a senior Manpower, Personnel, and Training (MPT) analyst for the Navy, which brought me back to the Ventura, CA naval base I retired from in June of 2021 after a 24 year career. Even though my work has me back on a military installation, I normally miss the daily ritual of our colors being raised smartly to our national anthem, because I usually began my day in the office at 0700. However, on this Friday I wanted to spend an extra 30 minutes with Kai, my 13 month Golden Retriever, who wanted some extra time getting the zoomies out.

The ‘Net Worth’ of Legacy & Mickey Markoff’s Vision
This article was previously published by Mickey Markoff on his website. In a world where the measure of success is often quantified by financial metrics, the true essence of 'net worth' can sometimes be overshadowed by the glare of dollar signs. We see this often with the commercialization of holidays. Memorial Day is no exception. Despite its true meaning being that of gratitude and somber reflection upon the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes, the takeaway of the day for many is the store sales. However, one man with a vision set out to change that in the 1990s, and never looked back. Decades later, Mickey Markoff, Executive Producer of the Hyundai Air and Sea Show, now has a diverse team behind him to help carry out that vision. Each year on Memorial Day Weekend, the Hyundai Air and Sea Show unfolds on Miami Beach, redefining the conventional metrics of value and success. The Air and Sea Show, conceived and nurtured by visionary Mickey Markoff, serves as a testament to a different kind of 'net worth'—one measured not in currency, but in honor, gratitude, and national pride for those who dedicate their lives to serving our country.

Eye Check-up Gone Awry
Gold flashes at the edge of my eyes marked the beginning of my saga after my twenty thousand steps in Machu Picchu in Peru. After the Citadel, we walked around at an even higher altitude in Peru's Lake Titicaca and Puno area. The altitude of 12,810 feet at Sillustani, a pre-Inca burial site, was our highest.
