Time to come out of the closet. I’m a tea party activist. Specifically, I drink 5-6 cups of tea, every single day. And I’m not ashamed to admit it. Also, you’re mostly doing tea wrong. Yeah, I know. This is America and we hairy-chested Yanks are... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Mar 28, 2021 | Blog |
I don’t watch the NBA. I don’t even watch NCAA basketball from November through February. But I love March Madness. I can’t get enough of it. Why do many of us tune into college basketball just for three weeks every year? The Madness That Is March... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Mar 21, 2021 | Blog, Learning from Other Countries |
Statehood for the District of Columbia is one of many long-shot, back-burner causes that has suddenly been brought to a boil by the last election’s results. Throughout my Many Adult Years, this has been one of those issues receiving regular lip service and... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Mar 14, 2021 | Blog |
I can’t hold a job. More accurately, I can’t stick with a career. Well, at least not like Dad did. I mean, he only had one career. I’m on Number Nine, and three of those after age 50. We subconsciously use our parents as our default yardstick with which to measure our... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Mar 7, 2021 | Blog, Flying in the BUFF |
I wrote a post awhile ago spilling secrets about my days flying bombers, in particular the venerable (tr: “friggin’ old”) Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. This name is habitually shortened to the BUFF. This is an acronym for Big Ugly Fat Fuc… errr, Flying... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Feb 28, 2021 | Blog |
If there’s an area about which this lawyer knows Very Little Indeed, it’s the law of intellectual property. Including public domain and copyrights, this is known amongst the cognoscenti as IP. I barely know how to spell it. This might come as a shock,... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Feb 21, 2021 | Blog |
What is it about lighthouses and writers? My blog title is a riff on Virginia Woolf’s incomparable To the Lighthouse that I first read in high school. Just in the last few years, we’ve seen The Light Between Oceans, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter,... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Feb 14, 2021 | Blog |
To my pleasant surprise, one of my favorite historical figures has received unexpected shout-outs during The Current Unpleasantness in Washington. I count it a minor victory for American democracy when any session of Congress ends with quoting… Thomas Paine. Raskin... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Feb 7, 2021 | Blog |
Kay-Kay and I are spending much of February in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Water watching on the beach. In February. Crazy, yes? Two reasons: 1) we actually love the seacoast in winter, and 2) we closed on a house here two weeks ago. Bought while we were in... by Jeffrey K. Walker | Jan 31, 2021 | Blog |
America suffers from Institutional Racism. There, I’ve said it—and I’ll argue, debate, fight, challenge to Corn Hole, and/or Be Very Unpleasant with anyone who disagrees with me on that. It. Is. A. Fact. Also, I benefit every day I continue breathing...
