So I’d planned to write this post about the USS Cavalla, on display in Seawolf Park, Galveston, Texas, accompanied by a series of photos but I just didn’t get around to it. So all I have right now is this one image of the forward torpedo room that I’ve been working on.

It was a dark and stormy night No, really, it was. Three years ago, on the 7th anniversary of 9/11, my family was among millions of others preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Ike.

Then, with our house in Katy filled with family members who had evacuated New Orleans, we all evacuated when hurricane Rita came rolling in a few weeks […]
