Active duty during each of five decades. Drafted ‘69. Best coffee ever? Remembering the thermos 200 miles into a 3,000 mile road trip. Unless you are here to push back against the authoritarian takeover of America, there is no need to follow. #Alaska

My favorite board game is the one with meats and cheeses. Sometimes a little fruit and some crackers. I’m really good at that one.

And from far away #Alaska Senator Sullivan enabled him, made excuses for him, exonerated him, acquitted him. Why on earth would we vote for more of the same?

When I was recalled to active duty, I was so old that when my phone went off while I was teaching a class I convinced everybody that it wasn’t my phone. I said it was the high-water alarm on my colostomy bag. (I got away with it.)
