The Cold Civil War

by Smitty My current commute is ~45 minutes. I like to use that time to check in with Stacy, and continue the attempts to guide him along paths of TweeDeck righteousness. We’ll get him there. I also like to chat up my dad, a retired Navy E-7 with a GED who may or may not […]

No Bowlder Man Than Dennis Walcott Ever Lived
