In honor of "Support Chick Fil A and its pompous evangelical CEO" day-I did the only logical thing. I got on a plane and left the USA. This evening, I will have a beer and a roast beef sandwich, or maybe even some Fleischkase prepared by those heathen, socialist, Germans.

The open secret-that nobody wanted to acknowledge.
Sitting in the lounge minding my time until I can make the jump back across the pond and away from American Political Commercials. They suck-especially Romney's. Speaking of "suckage", I noted with satisfaction-GREAT SATISFACTION-the other day the following story in the Washington Post: President Obama is set to approve the

Back here in the Whining States of America-visiting with my father. Important to do, and I knew if I did not get here now-the odds of me getting back here before November are slim to none. Typing this post on the MacBook. I am liking the key board-as well as

Rick Blaine: "So how we doing tonight?" Croupier: "A couple of thousand less than I thought there would be…….." And why is that exactly? Because yours truly just bought a Mac Book Pro with a Retina display! After hearing Spike loft its praises-I decided to take the plunge-aided in

Crank up the F-15's and bring out Slim Pickens on an H-bomb. My summer just got a hell of a lot harder. "All the signs are pointing to Iran. Only in the past few months we've seen Iran try to target Israelis in Thailand, Indian, Georgia, Cyprus and more, Prime

In the middle of a hectic work / travel schedule. Have a trip to elsewhere in Deutschland on the horizon, immediately followed by a trip back to the Whining States of America. Part business-part familial pilgrimage. In the interim-between going back and forth to both work and the doctor-I got
