Most of us know the saying about the captain going down with the ship. Abandon Ship is supposed to be for the passengers, not captain first. Allegedly, he was drinking wine with a woman on board.
In Ancient Rome, he would’ve been approached and told, The Emperor is displeased. You would have had to commit suicide or be humiliated, then executed. With the role of the captain are the perks, but also the grave responsibilities.
Shame on him!

Moriarty The Life and Times of a Criminal Genius

As to not bore my public with just "Buy my book," I am also interested in baseball, the outdoors, art, architecture, technology, the human mind and DNA. I learned Ashkenazi Jews, of which I am one, have to lowest rate of Alzheimer's in the world. Therefore, I treat my brain as a muscle needing a workout. I enjoy good food, flirtation, beautiful women (I am happily married for thirty years), so just flirting ;) I was considered autistic when I was young, trying to figure out if I have a mild form of Aspergers and learning from that. That is for future posts. You can also see I love history. Enjoy my sarcastic silly look at the world, and making History more interesting than a textbook.
