Editor’s Note: I am in an undisclosed location in Virginia’s historic and lovely Northern Neck. I am working off the iPad and phone, and neither gives me much flexibility. I will have some observations about the trip, which will eventually follow the Historyland Highway, originally cut through the brush by the legendary planter King Carter […]

Editor’s Note: We are taking a brief break from a longer break, but this struck me as right for the upside-down year. I have been watching too many Hallmark movies and am now fully ready to put up the holiday lights. It is literally the first time in my life that I feel disconnected to […]

I am not going to drive you bonkers with a description of what it is like to have three months razored out of your stream of life as the world collectively threatens to crumble. It is an interesting process, is all I will offer. I have found that if you sprinkle the crackling dreams with […]

Editor’s Note: Our Peripatetic Correspondent Mules is back in the Gentle Islands with his bride for Pearl Harbor Day, and went on to The Big Island of Hawaii. For those of us who lived on Oahu, it was a magical time. Even better to see it again through new eyes. There are more stories from […]

The NAS Pensacola Terrorist Attack: At play in the Fields of Taqiyya, Maruna, Kitman & Hudna Here’s to Pt. Loma for referencing this in his latest piece, entitled: “We Called it Paradise”; dated December 7th, 2019.
