Personal —
I’ll be posting less about news and politics, and perhaps more about some of my obscure and ever-changing interests, which this month happen to be ships of World War Two and learning ancient Greek.
As far as current events go, I remain interested in reading about them, but I no longer have any great certainty […]

Iced Coffee? No Sweat
… I saw [the] sign: “Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee Served Here.” Fine, then. I threw down two bucks and took a sip. Though it pains me to admit, the difference was considerable. Without the bitterness produced by hot water, the cold-brewed coffee had hints of chocolate, even caramel. I dropped […]

Please take a look at my site main page:
old menu using tables (index_old.html)
And compare to my work-in-progress:
a drop-down menu (index_dd.html).
Both of those are temporary, working files. At any point, my actual, live index.html might show either one. (Only the US Navy ship links are active.)
Any comments on appearance, functionality (let me know your browser), […]

Obama to stop in Scarsdale for fundraiser tonight
My wife and I bicycled over to see this a $1000-a-head event; we could’ve offered both bikes for one ticket. It was a fun thing to do, almost regardless of the candidate. Over where the rich folks live in big houses, lotsa cars were lined up, and we […]

What’s New on AcePilots.com
The Techography post yesterday inspired me to link to my site’s “What’s New” page. If read from the bottom up, it is a history of the site.
Now … onto the bleg. I could use some advice from a graphic design or web design person. It’s a matter of blending Google ads […]

5:00 - The FM is awake and ready to go to her ICU bed. She wanted me to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts, and says that she really appreciates all of them. She has made over 1200 cc of urine in the last three hours, so the kidney — which the donor […]

I just upgraded the blog to the latest version of Wordpress.
Everything seems fine. Until I’m sure that Akismet is catching spam, I’ve closed comments on posts that are 7 days old. Once I see Akismet working, I’ll relax that to the normal 21 days.
Comments seem to be working.
I might not put back all the former […]

My family took a short vacation in New Hampshire this past week, visiting my sister in North Conway. We all did some cross-country skiing, some shopping, and too much eating; my daughter and her friend also went downhill skiing and skating. I discovered snowshoeing this trip and really enjoyed it.
Starting with the […]
