Welcome

This is my first effort as a "blogger."   Time and the muse will determine the length of this blog and your interest its durability.   I have been published many times in print despite my average grammar and spelling and for a time even earned my living as a journalist.   To those of you who choose to pop in once in a while I make this promise, I will not insult your intelligence.   I tell stories around the Old Place some fun, some sad.  Occasionally a friend or two will come by and pour themselves into a chair while I pour them a drink and try to coax out a favorite tome. Please stop by if you have the time.   I am an equal opportunity befriender. 

Be Safe,

Col. Jim
