coopers-hawk.pngTime flies - when you’re having fun. And the last couple of years have been just that - punctuated with some consternation, some disillusionment, some anger and plenty of outright joy and satisfaction.

I have been looking at the on-line archives over the last few days. When I pulled up the first entry to this journal, I noticed that it was posted two years and two days ago. I signed on with a post about the motto I use here: “Si vis pacem, para bellum,” which means “If you seek peace, prepare for war.”

I called the Blog “Wandering Minstrel” after an old laptop computer I had. I gave it that name because it went with us on our travels. In the old days, the home network devices were named after medieval characters: Draco, the dragon of St. George, Lancelot, Minerva and Minstrel. Just a nerdy notion, I suppose.

We set this site up primarily to address our concerns about the Second Amendment and to post about anything else that interested us - all with the intent to leave it open to express ourselves in a non-politically correct and R-Rated manner. We think that we have met that objective and thank our readers for a great two years.
