This is a group I thought of titling, “Musings” to pay tribute to Tracey Jordan, but it’s a collection of relatively serious topics.

I welcome it. I may even read it. How’s that for a description? Don’t answer that…

Walls

When I first flew into Kabul, I noticed something from the air that I couldn’t explain. Driving through the city, I saw it from the ground and I still couldn’t see the reason for what I was looking at. It’s … Continue reading
