Today's the anniversary of when Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour. It's a day I should never forget. My countrymen were suffering from the Nazi's air raids for quite some time, and though Great Britain petitioned the United States' assistance, there was a strong leaning toward neutrality. The consequences of this attack became the U.S.'s involvement in the war, which in turn changed the tide.
Now I am in Atlantis, with a completely different war at hand, struggling with my emotions regarding my personal involvement. What I think I'd like to say is, if the people of Atlantis saw something in me that might help them win this war, then I should like to assist them in whatever way I can.
There were lessons in judo being offered, which I was able to attend. I'd been practicing judo privately, at home. My dear wife was my sparring partner. The instructors gave me many useful tips, which I shall continue to practice on my own.
Tomorrow, there are lessons of an entirely different sort - an all day brownie baking party at the shop, Sweets. I don't know if I'll be there at 8:00 am, but I do intend to stop by to check it out, as it were.
