The thing about traveling as much as I do is that it is very easy to get lost. I’ve been lost in about every city in every state I’ve ever been in. How many of you can say that?
I got turned around coming out of the Atlanta airport the other night and even though the [...]

I don’t know his wife so I’m not too sure what she’d think of me being in love with her man. I suspect that’s she’s [...]

Pray for Poe

Poe and I may need counseling. I’ll have to check with Susan Isaacs to see how this therapy stuff works out. But we are having some serious issues. If there was a home to send errant dogs to, the way you can with teens, I’d have his bags packed tonight. Instead, he’s going to spend [...]

Robert McNamara: Public Enemy

Joe Galloway and I have had several discussions about Robert McNamara and his role in Vietnam. Joe has long said that there is a special place reserved in hell for Robert McNamara. As a Christian, I don’t wish any man or woman that but I do share most of Joe’s sentiments about McNamara.

This is a story from my buddy Joe Galloway. I thought it fitting to share as a reminder that war and this freedom we banter about comes at a great cost, then and now.

Sam and Esther
