Happy New Year!

Don’t ever meet one of these in a bar! Well, midnight (in both hemispheres)has come and gone. I saw 2007 in the same way I did 2006, drunk and enjoying every minute of being so. For you “Carry Nation’s” or Kris Belland’s (who is still a worthless piece of excrement

New Years Eve

It is New Years eve. The S.O. has been driving me nuts today with having to clean house, which is a Japanese tradition. The cleaning is called Susuharai, or soot-sweeping. Both inside and outside the house, the stains, physical and spiritual, of the past year are rubbed out in order

Back to reality………
