Beware, wanderer, for that way lies madness...
When you speak the Truth, it is not necessarily beautiful…

I did not think.

In my naiveté I assumed.

I welcomed any who wanted to hear what I had to say, not thinking anyone would object to the truth as I see it.

You’d think a cynical old soldier like me would know better, but it turns out I still have some of the blind spots of youth. Someone took exception to something I wrote, and it caused some drama. They weren’t offended so much as scared, but it still caused some people to come to me in an official capacity to ask me what was going on. Rather than get caught up in any more issues, I’ve decided to move on down the road for a while.

I may be back this way again, and when I do, I’ll share the tales of my travels in distant lands. Until then, quoting the gospel of Led Zepplin, it’s time to ramble on. I'm going to put some more miles under my heels; there are places to go, and the Hard Road is waiting.

As I stand on the side of a dusty road watching you fade into the distance, I am struck with such an immense sadness. Wallking with you has eased my weary soul and I will be sorry not to have that in my journey.

You already know how I feel.

I'll miss your writings like I miss talking to you.

I'd say, "Maybe we should write to each other," but I know that's not going to happen because we're both men. I've relearned that lesson with the Christmas card fiasco...


edit: I just saw that none of your stuff is here any more. I hope you just hid it and didn't delete it.

Your writing scared someone? Had to be the little troll. I am sorry that you pulled your previous articles. I second psuedo's comment and hope to see all of your stuff up after you return to CONUS.

Likewise, I hope you have at least hard copied your stuff. you will be missed.

I'm sorry to read this bit of news HBW. I do hope you get to post again. Whip has a great idea there! Your tales were just too good to just delete, I hope too that you didn't erase them!
