		<description>I too found that political blogging was soul draining, sdo I dumped the angry political blog.  I was addicted to the Instalanches (even kept count, almost like a shelf of trophies), had to pay attention to news that wore away at me like carborundum (ooh, new blog name: Carborundum of the Soul), and ended up losing the joy of it.  Plus I figured Google Heaven would remember everything I wrote, and I might actually want to be employable in a blue state someday.

The problem with quitting was that I still needed an outlet for writing; when the words start flowing around in the head, they have to come out somewhere and no one in my family wants to hear them.  So, started a completely political-content free blog about flying and photography and just about anything I thought might be interesting to write about and haven&#039;t looked back.  It no longer feels like an obligation (&quot;Ooh, that silly Pelosi, now I guess I &lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt; to have an opinion on it&quot;) and has become more of a creative outlet.  And I have yet to get a disagreeable comment - trolls don&#039;t care about RV-6s.

This is a long way of saying that Cassandra need not stop writing if it is the writing itself that she enjoys; her writing ability is such that I&#039;d read her daily trials with collecting soap dishes if she chose to write about it.</description>

		<description>Heh! That new grandbaby may fill the void. 

A freeloader? You? Ha! Obviously you have never had a bunch of Marine Wives make you the target of their snark! You are a wise, wise man! he-he!

Gonna&#039; miss VC. You know how sometimes you just feel at home someplace? VC was like that for me. And that has been a rare feeling in my wayward lifetime.

Ah yes, Mazzola Oil, Visqueen, and Egg Salad. Gonna&#039; miss the gang. Cassie knew what she was doing when she named the joint Villainous Company!  :-o

You know Cassie will need an outlet or her head will explode. I too am hoping she guests here. Hmmmmm, what can you throw out to entice? Have to think on that one! I&#039;m just being the jealous type since I only frequent a handful of blogs and this is one although I just lurk around nowadays. Even if it is full of swabbies and flyguys! Us civilians don&#039;t stand a chance.  ;-)

And I STILL stand in awe of your patience! Heh!</description>

		<description>Lex:

I still do owe you for guest blogging, and I always honor my debts.  So please do not hesitate to ask if I can be of service. And thanks for the kind words.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad you tossed her a set of keys. The blogosphere would be a dark and dreary place without her.</description>
