This, my children is the 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II. Sometimes, I fail to remember that there is not a physical object in the material world that you cant find a picture of on the net. For some reason, I was thinking about this very car this morning and a few keystrokes later …

There are a few visual cues that always return the same response from me. For instance when ever I see anything on aged brown parchment, with backwards writing and some cryptic invention or mechanism of war; the salivary glands are activated. I call my theory the modified unification theory of reincarnation. It states briefly that [...]
My wife, my compass
Some of my loyal readers (currently my son, and perhaps a few unsuspecting passersby) have a wife. I can only hope that they serve the same practical purpose mine does. She is my compass. Let me explain…
