Well, here it is March again – that wonderful time of the year. And thus, today is International Women’s Day. Certainly, I celebrate women – or would – if the pandemic had not trashed a full year of Asian and Oceanic travel. Thailand and the Philippines are still non-starters for destinations. The S.O. can’t even… Continue reading Everyone celebrates in their own way.

Musings on the edge of disaster
I have not slept much in the last couple of days. That comes with repeatedly waking up and hoping that Pennsylvania has been called for Biden and we can send the orange monster on his way to perdition. However I don’t think that is going to happen today and I have to take the S.O.… Continue reading Musings on the edge of disaster
Throwback to simpler times
I’m off today and looking forward to chasing the little white ball across the grass. My game still sucks – but it does so more consistently now. This has been quite a week for American democracy. To start with, the President of the United States just came out and basically admitted that he wants to… Continue reading Throwback to simpler times
Happy May Day!
Today is Labor Day for most of the civilized world. It’s a holiday in many countries, but this year that is pretty much a meaningless concept. The US, of course, wants nothing to do with the stinking commie day. Hence we celebrate an obscure French battle in early May and Labor Day in September. It… Continue reading Happy May Day!
Good News for Cleveland…..
Maybe Donald, the talking yam, will make America great again. Certainly , Cleveland is looking forward to a good time in July: Last month, artist Spencer Tunick put out a call for women to pose nude at the Republican National Convention this summer. They’ll be part of his latest large-scale art installation: “Everything She Says Means Everything.” According to Tunick, the… Continue reading Good News for Cleveland…..
Thank God it’s Friday!
As a part of the conference I am hosting I had to go to a social event last night. After a couple of large hefeweizens, a member of our group brought up the subject of the demon that is Donald Trump. Like throwing chum in the water, I took the bait. To my great regret.… Continue reading Thank God it’s Friday!
Day Late and more than a dollar short
Got dragged to Leonburg today for what turned into a sojourn all over Stuttgart to look at antiques. Not my idea of a good time! I had meant to post this yesterday, in honor of It being mid-May and weather is finally getting decent. Which means its time to drink one of these: And maybe… Continue reading Day Late and more than a dollar short
Something everyone can use.
After last night’s Rethuglican slugfest. My takeaways: Trump does not have as much game as he thinks he does, and needs to put Super Tuesday away quickly. Time is not on his side. That said, he is right about Rubio and Cruz, they have never led anyone or hired anyone. ( Besides hacks like them).… Continue reading Something everyone can use.
Writer’s Bloc
Not much posting. As E @ L, points out, some of it is due to “too much time on Famebook.” But most of it is due to the fact, that while I have a lot of ideas, I have little desire to write them down. Maybe I am just depressed. After all, there… Continue reading Writer’s Bloc
Back at Last
This is my first post in the month of May. Not for lack of desire-but for lack of time. I have spent most of this month on the road, first spending several weeks in the land of Eretz Yisrael and then a long promised trip to take the S.O. to see Slovenia. Slovenia, by the… Continue reading Back at Last
