Stitching together that which makes no sense!

National Geographic was about the top of the food chain when I was a kid. I had a couple of friends that received a subscription from their well meaning grandparents, or old maid aunts eager to elevate the little scudders educational experience. Not me.

When I was growing up my Pop sent me the Wilson Quarterly. I've noticed there are a couple of things you can't seperate from an Irishman. Politics is one, and drink is another. Naturally a good story, a catchy rhyme and a good fight are others and I'm sure there are more. But, when I stop to think about it, these are all things that may be the results of drink sprinkled with politics.

I'm finding it more and more difficult to write without my politics coloring everything. I'm thinking I would have been better off to have gotten a copy of National Geographic every month...

My real work. Or at least the work I'm getting paid to do.
