I will not be blogging for about a week or so. I have to up to Landstuhl Hospital to have cataract surgery on my right eye. To say that I am nervous about it is an understatement-but I can no longer put it off. And arranging to get it done

But can she cook?
For 40 million British pounds-who cares? It would seem there could be a wealthy future out there for me……if I could just make the short list. Gigi Chao, daughter of property tycoon Cecil Chao, entered a civil partnership with her girlfriend of seven years in a ceremony in Paris five

Andrew Breitbart died last March. Sadly, his media outlet, the Breitbart blogs, did not join him in death. They, sadly, continue on, providing dishonest commentary at every turn. My Canadian Counterpart has a great post up pointing out the details. It is worth the read-because one can never be reminded too

Each one more disastrous than the one that preceded it. Said neo-cons never seem to know how to finish said wars,

Have been under the weather since returning. Clearly I no longer have the staying power I used to have. Slept and slept today. Here's the Palma pix: Trams in Soller. Western Coast on the road to Valdermoss. Interesting building that looks a lot like those of my
