This blog

Well, I'm about half-way through this Monocacy gig, and I've made thirty-four new posts to this blog.  I expect to continue posting regularly while I'm here, although when I return to the National Mall this blog may very likely go dormant again until when, and if, I again end up in a park that again brings me joy.

Here's hoping.

Stay tuned,

Ranger Mannie

Having a ball with J.E.B. Stuart

Yesterday ranger Anthony and I took a little time to check out some of the Civil War sites that are in the neighborhood.

More to come.

Toy Soldier frolic at Monocacy

You may know that I'm also in to toy soldiers (toysoldiersforever.blogspot.com), well, this past weekend, much to my delight, I was able to combine my hobby with my job.

More fun from my temporary Monocacy gig...taking a little break with the VI corps

I made this little detour while driving back to the park this afternoon.

As always, thanks for stopping by.
