Why Nixon’s Reindeer?

Why such an absurd name for a blog and what is it about?  I have no idea what this blog is about except for thoughts that I feel like expressing at a given moment.

But, I can explain “Nixon’s Reindeer”:  when I was at some now forgotten website I had to type in one of those challenge pass phrases that indicated that I was a real human being rather than some webbot.  The phrase truly was “Nixon’s Reindeer”.  I was so taken by the absurdity of that combination of words that I vowed it would be the name of my blog if I ever chose to write one.

And so, I give you “Nixon’s Reindeer” … flashy graphics to follow.
