Wrightsville Beach, NC The body of water pictured here is part of Masonboro Sound. My home during my grammar and high school years was about ten miles south of this point in the town of Carolina Beach. I spent many hours on this sound puttering around in a small boat with outboard motor. The boat […]
The debate about racism rages on in America. Many leftist thinkers accuse our nation of being systemically racist. Is that charge true? When Barack Obama was elected President in 2008 I was very hopeful that his administration would usher in a period of greater racial harmony. In fact, the very opposite occurred, and racial relationships […]
I am often repetitive for purpose of clarification. Family relationships are sometimes complicated. As previously noted, there is evidence my family descends from a Jordan male forebearer living in southwest England in the mid to late 16th century. Ignatius Jordan (Jourdain), one time mayor of Exeter, and his putative brother, Silvester Jordan (Jourdain) of the […]
Beach House, Wrightsville Beach, NC I intend to buy this beach house when I make my next million. I will insist that the seller include those beautiful clouds. This view helps keep you warm during midwinter snows. The Good Lord created a beautiful world.

Indeed, I am sure that he has signed a contract to develop software for the Howard County Health Department and Giant Foodstore Pharmacies. For almost two […]
In early April 1865, General Robert E. Lee withdrew his troops from their lines around Richmond and Petersburg and retreated west. He hoped to link up with the army of Joseph Johnston in North Carolina, but it was not to be. The remnant of Lee’s once formidable army was trapped near Appomattox and forced to […]
I suppose I might be classified as an quixotic idealist. Certainly, I am no saint. Indeed, I know I am a woeful sinner in desperate need of God’s grace. Nevertheless, for some reason I am always searching for and longing for perfection. For me, perfection is beauty, honor, love, and purity. I am realistic enough […]
Chuck Schumer has announced the Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate will begin on February 9th. April 1st would be more appropriate. The entire affair is an exercise in foolishness.
