Today was a reasonably good day. I got up on the assumption that I was going to play golf el solo lobo. As I was making coffee at about 5:50 am I heard rumblings from the S.O.’s direction in our room. Now mind you, we had agreed that I would

For beer and babes that is……… Life has been hectic these last for weeks……and damned unsatisfying. Not sure why, except I am having growing pains adjusting to the new job. Suspect that happens with every one at some time, so patience is required. Then again, maybe it could be due
