Catching up
Long day today getting from Hong Kong to San Diego. Actually was not too bad just LAX is a real nut house. There has to be a better way to get folks through airport security. After arriving in San Dog, went through the usual rental car stuff and came straight

Got up this AM and set out for Victoria Peak. Which is a waste of time because it was cloudy raining and windy…….and foggy. Plus the construction on the Peak tower means the Pacific Coffee where I loved to sit and read and sip java is not there. So I

Or I’ll be any other nationality if it will get me some action…………. Spring, slowly but surely, is coming. I can see it with our accounting ladies as they are now wearing shorter skirts, but still wearing their high boots. We have some real sweethearts that work in the accounting

Still laying low in my bunker contemplating. However thought I might offer forth a tribute to fallen heros from my alma mater. 5 days from now will be the 163rd birthday of my alma mater. As I mentioned it is tradition to call the roll for those graduates who have
