Author and ex-diplomat comments on foreign affairs and writing. Saturday, June 15, 2013. An Open Letter to William Bradford Bishop, Jr. You've been on the run for thirty-seven years now. It's time to turn yourself in. Why? Because you'll soon turn 77 and because you owe it to Annette, Lobelia, Brad III, Brent and Geoffrey. As you approach the end of your life, do you really want to go to your own grave not having atoned for what you did to them? How is it that I can say this? There is "the development of...

Girl in the Rain. A Displaced Seattleite Wandering the Globe. Saturday, July 13, 2013. A “Tour” of Duty. At 4:44 pm by graceandpoise. A lot has changed over the past three years. At work, Husband and I have both gotten promotions, and we learned a lot about how the DC side of the sausage gets made. At home, we invested in some pieces of “grown-up” furniture, learned – or invented – a few good new recipes, and welcomed a new tiny human into our family. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Girl in the Rain. A Displaced Seattleite Wandering the Globe. Monday, December 3, 2012. At 4:47 pm by graceandpoise.

Sometimes. A couple of weeks ago, one of the instructors told me, “You really need to murder your Bulgarian – it’s holding you back.”. Why must one die for the other to live? How could the spellin...

DIPLO DENIZEN
Author and ex-diplomat comments on foreign affairs and writing. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The subject of this essay deviates from my usual commentary on foreign affairs, writing and (very.

Jim Burger's Blog - acoustic guitar, parenting, books, travel, tennis
Thoughts on acoustic guitar, parenting, travel, whatever…. My Approach to Learning Rock Songs on Acoustic Guitar. August 29, 2011. Usually, I decide to learn a new song either because I hear a song that I like and think it would be cool to learn to play it, or because at some point someone requests a song that I don’t know how to play and I say.
