Tuesday, April 02, 2013  Everyone has a place where they do their best thinking. For me, that place is out on the road, with the plopity plop of my shoes on asphalt, and the wind in my face.  It’s kind of magical-the peace I find out running, and I found it by accident.

Friday, November 09, 2012  Everyday at Arlington National Cemetery there are moments that take your breath away. Such was the case recently when the remains of 7 United States Marines, who were thought lost forever when their plane crashed during Wolrd War II.
