About Me

Retired sailor with 21+ years of service - including 13 years on 688-class submarines, and three on a sub tender. Born and raised in the Midwest, now living on the East Coast.

You're going to the moon! What did you forget to pack?

The haggis and kumquats. (Remembered the Lagavulin, though!)
