Trump’s Clock is Ticking

White House SitRoom Meeting Tomorrow Morning on Iran, No Nuke Deal In Sight Inline image Anders Hagstrom over on Fox isn’t giving the identity of his sources, but we find his reporting convincing based on everything else going on. He says there is going to be a Situation Room meeting tomorrow morning to discuss next […]

Computers and our Robot Age

The Creative Section at Socotra House experienced a technical melt-down requiring direct assistance from Tech Support. Which was actually Will from the Shore Patrol, who had been an Intelligence Specialist while on active duty and was competent to plug things in. Or vice versa. There had been a couple days of tech trouble. We are […]

Shore Patrol

(Will, Mateo, Noah, Kaito and Frenchie of Socotra House Security). The Chairman has a few things going on in his expansive private life that does not directly involve our Creative Section or our leader Miles. There are some simple jobs piling up involving the company or corporate property that need a little extra protection. That […]

Russell Up the Grill

OK. Memorial Day is coming up shortly and the grilling season in Fairfax will be underway. That makes a challenge here for Socotra house, since the Galley off the Conference Room is inadequate ventilation. But come Summer we will be ready with propane power and the Russel range cooktop we keep in the back of […]

We had the company national conference yesterday that started things rolling in […]

Cuba Begins to Go…

This is almost too much for those Boomers at the table to comprehend. With an average age spanning 70 to 85, they bring long memories to the 4th Floor Conference Room at the Socotra House Creative Section. Somewhere deep in their collective recollections was being a teenager when the evil dictator Batista—whose two periods of […]

Doctor’s Orders

(DR. Anthony Fauci (L) and that Institute Currently In The News (CITN) (R). Did you follow this one yesterday? A career CIA analyst was trundled up in front of a Congressional panel to see if Doctor Tony Fauci participated in a cover-up of laboratory work he had funded at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in […]

Portraits rom NAS Bunker HIll, 1945

This is an attempt to resurrect a fellow who may or may not be alive today. We are pretty sure the guy who drew the original pencil portrait at Naval Air Station Bunker Hill in Spring of 1944. It was in a sheaf of drawings he did of someof the young men who were preparing […]

Miscommunication

Don’t get us wrong. We were comfortable with the President’s brief remarks this morning disparaging the Iranian response to his offerings of peace from late last week. He says the Cease-Fire in the conflict is on life support, and wonders what it will take to bring the lunatics to an agreement. Which according to the […]
