Yes, Happy Birthday CW. BTW, I got a chance to read the "letter" you wrote to Ms. Malkin (sp?) - one of your teachers in sixth grade. Smashing! Such disdain for authority. How did you make it in the navy? ;-)
Doc, I was going to make some snide comment about how he made it in the Navy, but the fact of the matter is, he made it quite well through a lot of smarts, hard work and initiative. Most of which I'm sure he borrowed heavily upon from his upbringing. So, for that, I'm wishing the whole McG family a Happy CW's Birthday. That couldn't have been easy growing a CW from scratch.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! I've also invited a few friends to join in, so pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Secondly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility ONLY for what I write. I do not take responsibility, nor will I be held responsible, for what my guest bloggers write or for what those who offer comments write. I will occasionally exercise my right to edit/delete both blog posts and comments if they do not meet my view of what clean, civil, concise and relevant mean.

From me too! I was there from the beginning.

Now that you are (mid forty-ish) may I assume that you have control of your weight and are now a prime example to all middle aged gentlemen?
Damn what a photo! Marilyn sure was worth the effort, and if JFK were alive I know I'd get an amen.
Thank you all, it has been a wonderful day.
Just look at that profile.
Hubba hubba!
Oh, yeah; happy birthday
Ok--I just gotta say it. That's one fine back porch.
The front porch awning wasn't too shabby either.
