My theme song………

My son called me at 4:30 this morning. Nowadays, when the phone rings in the middle of the night, I assume it can only be bad news. Fortunately, it was not; he just wanted to talk. Nonetheless it screwed me up sleep wise. So I popped in “Thank you for

Reruns………..

For those of you paying attention to this blog lately, and to borrow a phrase from Bob Uecher, “And judging by the attendance figures, a lot of you haven’t!”, I thought I would point out that not everything here is sheer drivel. Sometimes, rarely I will admit, I actually write

I finally got off my ass and reorganized and updated the links. Hopefully I got everyone and they are correct. If you know someone I missed, who should be a part of the “Fair haired fraternity of expat ragers against the Man!” let me know. E @ L ‘s caveat

Manly values and me–meaning Beer and babes!

I feel like Steve Martin today. “The new phone books are here! I’m somebody!” Received an e-mail telling I had placed 2nd for the month of February in the category of Far Eastern blogs at something called the Honor Network. The stated mission of the Honor Network is to “Defend

Blog birthday

Today my little blog is one year old. As is typical for me lately, the day just sucked at work so all the pithy comments I had to say will have to wait until I’m in a better frame of mind. The last year has been interesting and I’ve learned
