I went to Washington, DC recently for a friend’s wedding (sort of - it turns out they actually got married two days prior… which we found out when we got there… so we arrived in time for the post-wedding barbecue… but it seriously was great). Anyways, there was much to observe and ruminate on [...]
Recently an event came to my attention that inclined me to spontaneously spout the following:
You know… if you’re gonna’ be stupid, you gotta’ be smart about it.
I love one-liners, and the poetry of this one rang true in my ears as soon as it left my lips. I quickly Googled to see if anyone [...]
Last night I had a true, All-American Friday night. Some have no idea what that means (and probably never will)… and others will roll their eyes because they just don’t understand (and probably never will). You don’t have to be American to have an All-American Friday, as it is part of a transcendent [...]

I finished a great book recently (and indeed many of you probably thought it was a permanent addition to my ‘Currently Reading’ due to my procrastination)… it’s called The Right Thing by Retired Navy Commander Scott Waddle. You may recognize his name as the CO of the USS Greeneville, a nuclear submarine that collided [...]
My new hard drive is finally being used, but not how I’d like. Despite my best efforts, and the use of some otherwise reliable hard drive companies’ software, I was not able to convert my new drive over to the boot drive (C:) with a valid image of the original hard drive. The [...]
You know you’re in a great country when…
…you can stand on a pier surrounded by other anxious people - young, old - family and friends… each having a sailor on board a returning warship - son, daughter, mother, father… little children waving flags in excitement… grown women weeping at the sight of their husband’s boat… [...]
