About

Random thoughts from southeastern Virginia... These are my musings, ruminations, rants, & raves about the swirling haze around me: politics, technology, poetry, life, war, peace, conflict, love, crisis, education, news, leadership, organizations, the Coast Guard, sons, teaching, confinement, family, friends, ideas, relationships, community, and pretty much anything else that catches my fancy.

Kind Words about the Muse

Prolific blogmaster Peter Stinson researches before he posts, and then makes rational comments that are sometimes strong but usually right on the mark. Strong supporter of the USCG, and there aren't that many of those around. Great website. Wish that there were more like that.
