Editor’s Note: There was a question in the morning meeting about where to go in the weekly content production directive. The guy down by the Loading Dock chose not to engage in the end game discussion. He had been muttering about the vulnerability of the U.S. power grid, demonstrated by the Colonial pipeline shutdown. Unfortunately, […]

Editor’s Note: Large Day today in the country- I am taking the momentous step of Leaving the Property to snag the Panzer, which is resting after repairs up in Arlington in the basement of Big Pink. This is also second shot of the vaccination week, so between actually leaving the Farm, there are all sorts […]

Editor’s Note: Marlow continues his exploration of an ancient place with new eyes. We have shared the view of distant shores under novel skies, and the energy and decadence of tropic isles anchored in more than one sea. Have fun with this- it is a joy to look back at it all, the laughs and […]

Author’s Note: This is another piece of the Going Native puzzle. Please suggest any desired editorial changes regarding poor grammar, triggering phrases, unknown-to-me hidden meanings that might offend, and micro-assaultive words I may errantly have used to the Corrections Staff in care of Socotra House, LLC. Humbly yours, -Marlow The Extravagant Old Soul of Savannah […]

Editor’s Note: In view of the several issues bubbling merrily on the global stage, it is appropriate to remember the past to put it all in context. One of the unmentioned struggles being played out is one that Old Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville wrote about when he came from his post-Revolutionary homeland to tour the […]

Editor’s Note: There is a lot swirling around this week. Some of it is quite amazing. I think, rather than going alarmist on you gentle readers, it is better to return to Marlow’s account of an adventure in a traveling life, one that makes worlds collide. There is a book building here. – Vic Author’s […]

Editor’s Note: I had to leave the property due to that screaming message on the dashboard. “Level A Service Deferred 25 Days!” So, I am doing the proper thing. I am leaving the Farm for a day or two. There is no telling what I might encounter, and the clouds have obliterated the pleasant dawn. […]

Editor’s Note: The Staff Meeting this morning was subdued and in keeping with the steady cold rain falling on the gravel between the loading dock at the barn and the green-covered table inside the headquarters building. The discussion veered wildly between that meteorological matter and mention that it has been a really frosty April across […]

Editor’s Note: There is a lot flying around this morning. It used to be Tax Day, but not now under emergency rule. The Supreme Court is the next issue in the reform of America into something the Editorial Board does not quite recognize. The timing of it all is curious, perhaps because we were used […]

Editor’s Note: Marlow returns this morning with ironic flourish as the world considers the passing of the longest-serving consort to the British Monarch. At 99 years of age, Philip was a presence across my life, born the same day (though three decades sooner) on a table-top on the island of Corfu. The Royal family has […]
