My Inspiration for this post. Greetings ST, 'Ettes, 'Sieurs, and All! His Graciously Unleashedness/Unwokeness has asked yours truly to reflect on his transformation from an "international man of mystery" (IMOM) to an instantly recognizable man of action/raconteur known as: "Simon Templar". Therewith comes a tale. Let me say at the outset that simplicity suits the … Continue reading By Request, “Introducing… Simon Templar!”

Preface: LtCol S.x MacTemplar -Shadow Warrior
Where to begin? It seems that war is just too big of a topic for Hollywood to handle in 90-110 minutes. Go figure. I know I can’t do it justice in 300-plus pages, either, but it will be more accurate than anything Hollywood can dish up. I suspect what people want from Hollywood is to … Continue reading Preface: LtCol S.x MacTemplar -Shadow Warrior

Driving to Costa Rica on the Road Less Traveled
Although this isn’t exactly where it all began, before I was dodging and/or killing some of the most deadly snakes in the Western Hemisphere, I decided to drive rather than fly to Costa Rica. I mark the beginning of this adventure in the epicenter of the Redneck Riviera: Panama City, Florida, where I purchased a four-wheel-drive Nissan … Continue reading Driving to Costa Rica on the Road Less Traveled
Mis En Seine
My kind husband woke me at 7 this morning —with coffee!—so I could see our departure from Rouen. It was pitch dark then; now I’m sitting by our picture window at the stern, watching the heavily wooded banks of the Seine, their white limestone cliffs, slide by as we head for Les Andelys.(The limestone is … Continue reading Mis En Seine
Caux Conspirators
Caux (kō, as you know) is what this region of Normandy is called. We’re in a town called Caudebec, only has about 2500 people, but lots of festively decorated shops and a splendid Gothic church , which miraculously was spared the German bombs—even its oldest stained glass, which fortunately had been shipped off to Provence … Continue reading Caux Conspirators
Love of Monet
Thick fog on the Seine last night: twice when I woke it was like being in a plane, I couldn’t see anything outside our windows. When we woke up we were docked at Vernon. This town is across the river from Giverny. Monet couldn’t afford the rent in Vernon so he stayed over there. Look … Continue reading Love of Monet
French Letter
We arrived yesterday and all we managed to do was stroll up to the Eiffel Tower. We were docked very close to it. You now have to go thru, like, airport security before you can enter the immediate environs, although it’s difficult to imagine what you could bring in on your person that could damage the … Continue reading French Letter
