About Me

Location: Wilmington, Delaware, United States

I used to go boating, camping, and I enjoyed driving. Now I just read about others doing those things and I sit at the keyboard all day, and most of the night, surfing the net for humor, playing games, and writing nonsense. Being disabled, I'm not exactly unemployed, and I'm not exactly retired. I'm somewhere in between. I still play guitar and sing once in a while, but usually as a result of my daughter browbeating me into it. She sings too. My son and I, and sometimes the daughter, go target shooting on weekends. Other than that I'm usually at home, getting in my wifes way and fighting over the TV remote with my son. We both like to put something stupid on TV that we can ignore while we play on the computer. Since I'm always on the other side of the camera, my current photo is a rendition of my trademark, The Aardmoose, drawn by my brother, Charley.

Another Voice From the Middle East

In a previous entry I spoke of my step-son, David, and his blog; "Dispatches From Iraq." I wish to add another voice from a soldier stationed in Afghanistan and his blog titled, "Letters From Afghanistan." It is another soldiers eye view of life in a strange and dangerous place and worth reading. Again I ask that feelings about the war itself, pro or con, be set aside, and prayers and support for all the men and women in the services be offered. Whether you agree with the politics of what is happening or not, these people are doing their jobs and doing what they feel is right. They deserve all of our prayers, love, support, and gratitude for their selfless efforts in the line of duty, and, whether you like it or not, in the service of our country.

Please check out Jeremy Sadler's, "Letters From Afghanistan" at:

I have placed a shortcut to Jeremy's blog on my desktop right next to Davids; and I hope others of you will too.
