07 November 2016 Editor’s Note: Well, tomorrow is election day and with luck, all this unpleasantness will be wrapped up by midnight. Hahaha- just funning with you. The FBI apparently went through the 650,000 emails on the computer that senior aide Huma Abedin’s shared with her disgraced husband. I am relieved, of course, that a […]

Editor’s Note: This was written almost six years ago, to the day. Things were very different then, more so than I can even imagine. Liz-S is now an attorney for the IG of one of the large agencies around town, and regularly is on the civilian side of the bar. Mac is gone, as you […]

Editor’s Note: It is taking everything I have got to avoid thinking about the election, pitting Tumble Dee against Tumble Doh is a desperate play for all the marbles. I have never seen anything like it, and pray that none of us see anything like this again. We followed Mac and his family across the […]

Editor’s Note: I am looking out the window of the Mimslyn Hotel, a grand institution in Luray, Virginia. The Blue Ridge mountains beckon in the distance beyond the pool and the hot tub, dotted with the brilliant color of the and the air is fresh after last night’s rain. This is a lovely part of […]

It was a challenging day, with the conclusion being the finale of the World Series- the Cubbies finally breaking the 108-year-jinx and taking the World Series. It was a classic event, going all seven games and a nail-biter to the very end. My great thanks to both the Cubs and the Indians for making some […]

Editor’s Note: The following interview with Mac Showers was conducted on 04 May, 2011. We could have had no way of knowing how crazy things were going to get, but there was some material that suggest things have been pretty nuts before, and likely will be again. Nothing as strange as the story of Jack […]

(Swiss Cottage Tube Stop, Jubilee Line,London. Photo London Transit System.) Gentle Readers: this account was penned in 2010, before anyone could imagine what was coming. At least that is true for me. This interview attempted to deal with the immediate aftermath of WWII, and Mac’s duties in Washington, his marraige to his beloved Billie, and […]

(Eddie Layton’s Captain picture. He appears this morning because of something special that happened last night. Bear with me- and photo thanks to Bill) Well, I threatened to do it yesterday, and despite the epic nature of the sports exposure, I am going to do it. I swear- getting up at nine to catch the […]

Gentle Readers, As you you, this is a rough and tumble game, this blogosphere stuff, and generally speaking I don’t go back and correct minor mistakes in The Daily. You already know that, too, so I don’t need to elaborate though of course I will. Endless revisions of this ephemeral stuff is the digital equivalent […]

Author’s Note: Point Loma is back! He added this note of explanation for his absence: “For all of my fans out there (okay, both of you, and you know who you are you guilty bastards), I must apologize for my extended absence from the Socotra sagas. This is in not entirely sloth on my part, […]
