I am the rapidly-approaching-more-or-less middle-aged husband of a wife of whom I’m not worthy. I am the father of three daughters who, in one of His wryer moments, God gave me in answer to the wish of my younger days to be surrounded by beautiful women. I am a now not-so-recent Catholic convert and a social traditionalist. I am interested in just about everything and an expert in just about nothing. I generally treat the “real” world with what my mother describes as cheerful contempt.
So there you are. I can be reached at noheeltaps -AT- yahoo.com if the tide in your glass is running dangerously low and is in need of recharging.

Hello:
I stumbled onto your website via The Irish Elk site.
I am enjoying it very much.
I have a question though, …where is the title line from, “The Port Stands At Your Elbow.”..literary allusion?A night out with friends?
I am curious.
Cheers,
Jim Fleming

“The Port Stands at Your Elbow…” I believe Holmes says this to Watson somewhere along the way.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Nightfly! It’s actually a reference to the Aubrey/Maturin novels of Patrick O’Brian, to which I am deeply addicted. (Not that it couldn’t also appear in the Holmes stories, although I must confess that I have not read many of them and certainly don’t qualify as a Baker Street Irregular.)
