Vacation one is down and vacation two started yesterday in a technical sense but really today feels like day one. I just posted a haiku that came to me while standing at the closest point allowed the public to the Whitehouse. Such a bitter irony that a country, my country, speaks of freedom and democracy almost all the time yet doesn’t really appear to have either. I have more thoughts on that which are currently percolating in the back of my mind.

I will post a bit here and there this coming week though as I have said I am still on vacation. Something tells me these thoughts are not going to keep and probably should be vented somewhere, and what better place is there than here?

Speaking of here I have noticed a few newcomers to my subscriber list. Thank you for taking the time and welcome to whatever this blog has become.

I also have noticed my before mentioned subscriber list has passed the century mark. I continue to be humbled and forever grateful so many of you have seen enough of my blog to want to receive regular updates. I hope to continue to capture your interest and hopefully spur your imaginations if not your questioning minds.

Welcome one and all. There is so much more to come.
