On the weekdays I am a history teacher and retired coach in Texas. On the weekends and vacations I am the proprietor of Blockade Runners. It's a fishing camp that sits on the last remaining piece of sovereign Confederate territory. I hold the rank of Commodore of the blockade running fleet. With our shallow draft vessels including flat boats and pirogues, we routinely brave the dangers of the waiting Yankee gunboats to . . . . . well, fish, drink beer, and tell lies. The last year has been nothing but rebuilding from the onslaught of that vile Yankee hurricane Ike. I oversee the Seabees and critique their efforts on the rebuilding.
The Confederate Navy, it's not a life . . . It's an adventure.
