So here is comes.

So I haven't posted anything interesting in a while (perhaps ever). I fell into a writer's funk I guess, as having watched our political system degrade, I haven't really felt like ranting. However, I also found a little piece of history. The original blog if you will. These writings were written over a period of months while sitting in the sweltering heat of the Summer of 2002 near Harrisburg, PA, and into the bowels of eastern Europe (lower bowels, pretty much in the worst condition of their history. . .) So, without further adieu, I am posting the dispatches from the "front" so that my son can read "what Daddy did during the war" which can be summarized as "sitting on my ass."
