My father was 94 when he passed away a few years ago. No sadness here; he was active and alert until his final days. In fact, he discovered the internet at age 79, and loved the ability to do research on various topics, and really loved email through which he kept our far-flung [...]

It should be obvious by now, that the majority of our congress-persons are on the take.  We sit on the sidelines, knowing what is right and reasonable when a legislative issue is in process.  Then, all of a sudden, just the opposite happens.  I can’t think of any reason for this, other than their are [...]

We got a little lost, which ended up being OK, since we were privy to blossoming cherry trees, and [...]

Sirs. I am pleased to report that my troops have successfully achieved our mission by reaching the territory now referred to as the Straits of Northern Ohio. My troops are weary, to be sure, but in good spirits. We have scant provisions left, and the weather here remains cold, often accompanied by [...]
