Here I am

Well, I've decided to finally get around to putting "on paper" my thoughts on just about everything.  It seems appropriate, given my now 6 month acquaintance with that condition known as "being fifty".  I know some things on which I'll comment, but since I expect the list to grow and might change my mind on others, I don't think I'll list any topics right now.  As the name of the blog says, I'm a retired mustang.  For those unfamiliar with the term, I'm using it to mean someone who begins a military career as an enlisted person and then, at some point, chooses to accept Darth Vader's invitation to "give yourself to the dark side" and become a commissioned officer.
