One year ago today I announce "LT Matthew Feist, departing," over the announcing circuit on the USS Los Angeles and walked off. That's about the happiest day I ever had professionally because it meant that I would get to spend the next two years on shore duty with my family. Things obviously don't always work out like I envision, and it is not easy to accept that. As mom used to say, "No matter where you go, there you are."
So here I am. Wonder what May 3, 2008, will hold.
