I love a good soap box, plain and simple, so I thought it was time to have one of my own on the internet. From time to time, I will be posting my personal musing on topics ranging from global economics, travel destinations, vino, sport fishing, the Seattle Sounders FC, politics, and whatever else blows my mental skirt around.  If per chance you should stumble across my mad musings and pontifications and feel the urge to tell me where to go and how fast, please do so – good debates and conflicting ideas are warmly welcomed here.
