• Blogging 101 – Day 3 Revised

    Rich here. After 3 in the morning of 18 April. Coffee in front of me to the right of the keyboard. Marshall Tucker playing on Spotify. Time for another pain pill. I could stop here and call this the post that I would have written when I “first thought about blogging.” But I won’t. Now,…


  • Letters To LOMM – Very Funny…Read It

    You really need to read this from the blog The League of Mental Men. It is too funny. Just follow the link. Letters To LOMM. I do it a little differently. I’m not really into fire, being a retired fireman. I have a very large box that I built from empty cigarette packages. In front, I…

  • Blogging 101 | Post 1 – Who I Am and Why I’m Here

    OK. So here’s the deal – I screwed the pooch, dropped the ball, missed the boat, fell off the wagon. Pick a cliche, any cliche, and it applies. I failed miserably to get the first day’s post written and published for this challenge. No excuses. Six whacks on the wrist with a ruler is sufficient…


  • US Navy – Old and New

    I retired from the US Navy over twenty years ago. At the time, it seemed like the best thing for me to do in my life. Since then, I’ve often wished that I hadn’t retired. In fact, these days I often find myself wishing that I was still serving. I really miss it. By no…
