A reader e-mailed me and tipped me off to the fact that Donald Rumsfeld had a chance to be a hero to victimized affected servicemen and women, but avoided the issue entirely. Evidently during his Town Hall meeting in Korea, a question was asked about the Former Spouse protection act

Back in the saddle again!
I’m finally back on the correct side of the Pacific after a fairly busy week and some adventure in getting back. Almost missed my plane back to Nihon when the SFO airport was fogged in and I sat in an aircraft sitting at the hold short for almost 2 hours.

Short posts only for a while, as I am in a room with no hi speed access and I am not an NMCI preferred customer. This trip is not starting off so good. First the two “usual” resteraunts I have gone to have changed ownership. And with that the quality

Can anyone tell me what is going on with the American Stock Market? Every time I turn on my computer lately, the market has dropped by another 50-100 points. Wasn’t the Dow supposed be over 11,000 by now? It matters because one of the biggest joys that the S.O. has

Been a busy couple of days. As I had expected the first diversions of transportation have started in order to support Earthquake relief in Pakistan. While I understand the need, it could not have come at a worse possible time in terms of competing requirements. Earthquake relief will ( and

Today should have been a good day. And on the surface it was, even though the rain put a crimp on me playing golf again for the second time this holiday weekend. (Did get in 9 holes before the deluge started up again….but, I’ve played better…..). Took the S.O. to
