I was puttering around, minding my own business. I trolled through my Bloglines feed and pulled up Tech’s 51313 Harbor Street. I’m behind on reading. I was out of town over the weekend, but in the back of my mind, I knew he’d written two new posts in the last … Continue reading →
That’s approximately 1,000 words for the day. Half of the daily goal, but I’m just not into it, and I’m ready to hit the hay. I’m still ahead of schedule by a little, so I’m not going to worry about it. This redundant drivel isn’t getting any better, but it … Continue reading →

This has been a roller coaster year. On the up-side, I’m thrilled to have been able to retire this year after 28 years on active duty. I never would have imagined I would be able to do so back in April 1980 when I signed my enlistment contract with the … Continue reading →
In no particular order, here are some of the things I’m thinking about today.

Maybe it won’t get posted until later — wait, … Continue reading →
On this, my final Memorial Day on Active Duty, I take a moment to reflect. I walked to the Court House in my new adopted town this morning to attend the joint Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion post memorial service at the war memorial. I’m sure most of … Continue reading →
