Off and running with my new blog. My goal is to (1) keep a diary so that I can foil the ravages of my inevitable senility; (2) keep a diary of my Bible studies, because I love reading, learning, and connecting the awesome truths found therein; and (3) keep a diary of my wargaming adventures, complete with pictures. This last proves beyond a doubt that I am a total dork. There. I said it.
Today I am in Spokane concluding my visit with my in-laws. We've been here for a week, and I love this town. There is something about the way this city is laid out that really appeals to me. It's wide open and surrounded by pine forests and mountains. Very beautiful, even when overcast, which it has been all week.
We had fun eating at all the great restaurants here and playing games with Suzanne's family. After playing Werewolf with Zanne's parents, uncles, aunts, and various hangers-on, I've realized that they are a delightful family of man-eating liars.
Also got to visit my very own Mecca: Townshend Cellar, where some overlooked genius makes Vortex Red and its cousin, T3. T3 is another blended wine--merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and cabernet franc (like the Vortex), and the T3 label stands for Townshend, Three vintages, Three grapes. Yumness.
Tomorrow we fly home to West Virginia--land of wargames, cigars, and mediocre, needy dogs.
And now for the GOOD news!
"These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, you might have life through His Name."
That's me!

About Me
- RRLeonhard
- Born and raised in Pennsylvania. My Dad was a 30 year man with IBM, and a veteran of WWII (Army Air Corps). He died in 1999. My Mom raised four kids--three losers and me, the superstar (just kidding, guys), and then had a career in corrections before retiring. Now in her 80s, she's a social butterfly and my hero. I went to Valley Forge Military College and Penn State, and then served in the military for 24 years as an infantry officer. Retired from the Army and now serve on the Principal Professional Staff of The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. I have a BA in History, MS in International Relations, Masters of Military Arts and Sciences, and a PhD in US History. I've written three books on military science, an unpublished horror novel, two booklets with the Lab, and lots of articles. I'm married to the best woman in the world and my other hero: Suzanne. I have five wonderful kids, three step-kids, three grand-kids, and SEVEN cats (don't ask) plus two more who are visiting. I love to study and teach the Bible, play chess, and wargame. I attend the best church in the world: Fellowship Bible Church in Winchester, VA.
