Today was a beautiful day today. Weather was gorgeous, if just a TAD warm, work was….well it was work. However any day you can end your day shagging balls at the driving range, can’t be all bad…… Took a nap at lunch time, having gone back to my apartment, having

Take me drunk, I’m home!
I was going to post something useful and pithy about the “mainstream media”, but I can’t tonight. The S.O. and I went to a garden party at Yasuda-san’s (?????? house. Its a great big house by Japanese standards that is located on a hill so that when the weather is

Don’t feel like saying much today. Work is busy and at the same time its pointless. As an old mentor of mine once said, the script never changes in the Navy, just the actors do. Have been going through a lot of issues at work, where the powers that be

Shamelessly stole this from the Cynical Traveler. Go over to his blog and read the post in its entirety. While it may play to stereotypes, he’s taken his material right from the Japanese newspapers and Tokyo Govenor Ishihara: Skippy-san Subscribe in a reader
