I needed to take a brief break from the story of the Silver Spring Library.
This blog rambles a bit, avoiding the current state of affairs in the country to talk about a single person–John McCain but from a different point of view. I almost ended up in the Navy; he, far more famously, did.
Times when he was on Jon Stewart’s show, I tuned in.
Didn’t give much thought to the affection I felt for him, but recently it occurred to me he was another military brat who did well despite having an admiral for a father.
The sons and daughters of military families were my closest friends in high school.
