On joining up with Bearing Drift

Norm Leahy has included me in the latest crop of new contributors to Bearing Drift, describing me as "[o]ne of the grand old men of the Virginia blogosphere." As long as I have been a blog writer, I have been a blog reader, and the Bearing Drift contributors include several grand old men and women of the Virginia blogosphere whose words I have pondered for many years. Thank you for the invitation.
