  • My pleasures include following politics, reading history, joking and laughing with friends at my local bar and generally examining the human condition.

  • On these pages I hope to offer short essays on topics and things that catch my attention. I will not purport to offer solutions to the things I bring up, but will address items in the spirit of the words of Alan Watts:


    "Life is not a puzzle to be solved, but a mystery to be experienced"
