A week from today we’ll be in Louisiana for Thanksgiving. I’m so looking forward to another 16 hour drive through New Mexico and Texas….
After returning to the mainland from Guam, my father purchased some land in a rural area near where his sister and other family members lived. It was just a plot of land at first, and we spent a year or so getting it ready for actual living, and then my folks proudly announced that we [...]
From today’s Wall Street Journal: (Well, I can’t get to the WSJ, it times out, so instead I’ll link the story from Roger Simon.) Jeffrey S. Flier – the dean of Harvard Med – has thrown a haymaker at Obamacare in today’s WSJ – Health ‘Debate’ Deserves a Failing Grade: In discussions with dozens of [...]
One of the best things about growing up the son of a Air Force member was having access to the Air Force Bases. Even after my dad retired, we still had the ability to get on base and use the base parks, lakes and trails. After my parent’s divorce, my dad remarried, and the resulting [...]

Although I spent a great deal of time as a child living in rural areas, we were poor rural folks, not the kind who own acres and acres of grassland and therefore have horses to ride and cattle to herd. As such I never rode a horse until I was in my teens. I had [...]
(This was a comment in another thread, but I thought I’d promote it to actual post and perhaps even start a series of stories from my life. Just for the sake of posterity, you know.) I don’t know why, but as a child I developed a rather strange game to keep me occupied. It was [...]
