We mentioned the “downsizing” thing the other day. We are spending real cash to do it. Not ours, of course. It is the Chairman’s cash, which he can justify by figuring the real total cost of hiring help to get rid of stuff. That will open up space, anyway. And some of the objects emerging […]

The challenges to the staff who write The Daily are rising. You know the deal. It is possible that reference even to the most common of items or current topics could trip an algorithm some place with a lot of boxes. Make you pop up on some list of people who should get a visit […]

(We had a joyful aviation-related show this morning shortly after dawn. It amounted to a cross section of many of the local fliers in a Commemorative Capitol Wing fly-by at Refuge Farm. The humans were active yesterday in a precise flight, the old piston engines snarling and whining as throttles were adjusted to maintain course […]

(This image- a “photograph”- surfaced the other day from a tall stack discovered in the Chairman’s debris in the Barn. The image is on shiny paper, produced by a chemical reaction in a tank of noxious fluids. Research indicates the figures are Lenore and George Romney, left and center, and W.E.

Yeah, we are aware that tomorrow is the day, not today, but there are nearly a dozen of us and this will take some coordination. That is one of the reasons we had to get the “check engine” light looked at on the German SUV- the Panzer- since for comfort and elegance we did not […]

The Panzer hadn’t been fired up in the weeks devoted to- what is the term these days? “Transitory?” health issues. The crew at the Writer’s Circle had decided to fire it up to see if there were still dangerous fossil fuels sufficient to operate the thing and avoid having to put more in the tank […]

The Writer’s Section gathered early on this bright almost-Fall morning in the lovely Piedmont. The leaves are thinning around the recently verdant pastures. It is only an indication of the magic of seasonal change so far, but unmistakable for those who venture outdoors every 53 or 54 minutes for a variety of functions the Chairman […]

The Writer’s Section was torn this morning at their customary coffee places under bright Virginia Piedmont skies. There was coverage from Shanghai about the Cooperation Organization meeting. Apparently the conferees declared the order in global finances that has existed since World War Two is finished. Something new is emerging, sponsored by nations representing half the […]

As Bill Reddig’s proud kids, we support what these great Americans do to keep a great tradition alive! As part […]
