Who and What is the Happy Warrior

The Happy Warrior is the title of a poem... and yes, I love this poem. I do not wish to be mischaracterized, for the most part poetry is not my bag. I am not an afficionado of literature nor am I a metro-sexual (I despise that term) but a dear friend introduced me to this masterpiece of prose several years ago... it has provided no end of inspiration. The Happy Warrior by William Wordsworth outlines the qualities of a magnificent soul. I aspire to possess even one or two characteristics that "every man in arms should wish to be."


This blog is a representation, in conversational form, of my voyage to wrap my arms around the world in which Mr. Worsdworth's warrior finds happiness.

Optical Illusion Christmas Card

The Captivating Mrs. Wicke and I are very fortunate on a number of fronts.  One of which is that our lives have always been garnished with many, many good friends.  So Christmas time is always associated with many cards and pictures from friends now far away.  This year, however, I may be pressing the limits of card viewing as a very strange thing has happened with the card a dear family sent to us.  Either my eyes are playing tricks on me or they have sent a card that utilizes some pretty cool new technology... 
OK, so far so good... 

What?... Is that Wilson...

... a smiley face  (what kind of subliminal message is this?)

... an extra-terrestrial? 

Ernie?... 

Could it be Elvis?


Well done Megan and John, well done!
