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

The over riding reason why I am very inclined to think that women should not vote is because I am a woman.

“Avignon, the rose of the world”
…wrote Lawrence Durrell, and I agree. We just kinda lazed around this morning, enjoying being on the river…then spent the afternoon walking around the city.

It is … Continue reading “Avignon, the rose of the world”
