Welcome

Welcome to my first blog attempt. Encouraged by my daughter to make use of the down time I sometimes (often?) have at work, I'll try to keep a few of you updated on my current activities and thoughts on the political scene, current "crimes of the century", travel opportunities and actual trips, and life on the home front - that would be in our home that is "lake adjacent", not an easy prospect in Southern California. Drop by with your comments and encouragement.
