I’ve got more than five decades of keen cultural and political observation having been a news junkie all my life. I keep it short and succinct and attempt to make even the most difficult topics digestible and - sometimes - even humorous. I have no expertise in anything other than river running and bringing people together.

Oh, I can also string a sentence or two together and make a vague bit of sense.
