 So what the devil is the Drones Club, anyway? 

P.G. Wodehouse

Good question, Grasshopper. The Drones Club alludes to the writings of P.G. Wodehouse, and specifically to the club to which the wealthy and idle young men belonged in his stories. The jury is out if the description suits me since only idleness really describes me. Be that as it may, 'dronesclub.net' was available in 1998 when I was thinking of domain names, and its too late to change it now. And the rest, as they say, is history.

But what about. . .

Another excellent question. The real Drones Club was the Arts Club, on London's Dover Street. Today there are two Drones Clubs, one on Pont Street, and the other on St. George's Street. Membership includes pop stars, CEOs, and the upper echelons of society.

So why the Drones Club, again?

Why not? I originally thought I'd have a website as a tribute to P.G. Wodehouse, but that never really panned out. There's others out there that do the job better than I can. And I've never gotten around to making my web pages a paean of wisdom, education, and learning. Except for my masters thesis on the convention center industry more than 7 years ago, there are no scholarly essays on the Life of Tallyrand or thoughtful research on conditions in the poppet-valve industry here. My site has evolved - no, settled like detritus on the bottom of a beaker - into a collection of pages about what Jennifer and myself are up to: our pets, our home restoration projects, vacation pictures (if we ever went on vacation), and the details of our day-to-day adventures.

So poke around DronesClub.net. The membership fees are a lot easier than those other Drones Clubs out there, and you don't even have to dress appropriately.
