Still play softball? If so, more description, please? Single sex or co-ed? Type - slow pitch, semi-fast. Positions you play. Anything else you want to say!

Thanks

I play guitar, shoot trap, and am a bit of a grill and beer snob... I also love playing volleyball and softball.

Does debating economics/politics count as a hobby?

I am not a maritime history enthusiast but I love reading books, particularly history and related to American wars.

Based on your recommendation I just purchased a Very Good used hard copy at Amazon for $5.81 delivered!

Thanks

Have you read "Last Flag Down"?  It's about the CSS Shenandoah, which circumnavigated the globe, crossing the equator four time.  She fired the last shot of the Civil War.  It's a fascinating read.

As noted above, I did by "Last Flag Down" on your recommendation. And, tonight, finally started reading it. It is one of those books that after reading only the first page I can already see that it is going to be a good one. On page 104 now and it's stayed at its level of excellence.
