Family, church, and world, as viewed through Dave's myopic eyes.
Well, not really, but there is enough Scot in me to toy with the idea, at least until I learned that wearing it with underwear is really not the thing. Check it out here.
And if you are wondering why,
What an interesting world we live in!
Dave, thinking that Bro Don would look very manly in a kilt.
Tell us what you're thinking...

My name is Dave Ayers and I hope you will be a frequent visitor to the Orlop. What is an Orlop, you ask? It is the lowest deck on an Age of Sail man-of-war, well below the waterline where the cables are stowed. It's also a good place for a foremast jack to hide for a catnap. I learned this from reading Patrick O'Brian sea novels, and since my computer workstation is also below the water line and I have been known to sneak a nap there, I thought it would make a good name for this blog.
I discovered blogging several years ago when my son Larry, a natural-born blogger, discovered the wonders of WordPress, a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. (Their words, not mine.) Anyway, some five years, 750 articles and thousands of words later, I'm still at it, a testimony to this easy-to-use program and the therapy of wordsmithing.

Dad, maybe you should get one! Mom always said you have cute knees. Men should wear un-bifurcated garments, no more wedgies! Go for it dad, start a new trend.
I eagerly await with great anticipation your utilikilt arrival at a Rotary meeting.
Why do I have the feeling that I am being egged on? I wasn’t born yesterday, you know. (Boy, how true THAT is!)
