S.O. is furious tonight. The kitten will not remember where the litter box is, and thus decided the shag rug we have was the place to do her business. Now mind you I warned the S.O. that this was a young kitten and needed time, but I still got a

By request—-Friday Beer and Babes……with an extra babe!
Its been an incredibly busy week. Our big bosses are coming out next week and so everyone is in a dither. Have been crunching transportation numbers and AMC (Another Mission Cancelled) expenditure/ on time rates till the cows come home. Three conclusions are inescapable: 1) If AMC were a business,

I received this STRATFOR piece from a friend of mine who works in the defense consulting field. It provides a really balanced account, coming to the conclusion that a) the US is ahead on points, but b)the “war” is not yet won by a long shot. However there has been

Did not post yesterday as I had to go out for a remote site visit. Also it was September 11, a day that used to be just a normal day, but now will never be just another day ever again. I was in Japan when the attacks happened and had

Well, not really since, you can drink in Bahrain. Was pretty lucky today. Cathay Pacific upgraded me to business class so the ride out from Hong Kong was pretty good. I was able to put the seat back and actually get some sleep and cure my hangover jet lag. At
