An amazing man, that Winston Churchill. Unabashedly proud of Christendom, eloquent and persistent.

If you want a good read pick up "The River War" by Winston Churchill. It is available for free for the Kindle or as an audio book from The Gutenberg Project. Written in 1899 before he, or many of the people in the book, became famous it is an interesting pre-PC look at islamic fanatics, dysfunctional middle east countries, and trying to wage a war a long way from home with insufficient resources and long fragile supply lines. Substitute JDAM and Stealth bomber for Maxim Gun and Steam boat and it reads like today's newspapers.

I found that every one of his speeches fit well in that poetry-type format

Interesting nickname! Married 21 years, or married & 21?

I hope to meet my wife this year.
