Of the landed gentry…………. Somehow it is probably fitting that the day I jump back into the debt pool, just happens to be the day the stock market drops by over 500 points. Timing as they say is every thing. However today was an auspicious day for me-especially when you

Something sinful……..
The place where I work is very different from any other place that I have ever worked at before. As I have probably mentioned before (and I remind the S.O. every night), I am having a hard time adapting to its manners and customs. Although purportedly existing to support “the

And why I can never become an engineer…………. Gotta buy more powerball tickets……………

Well tomorrow is the first of August. Over on the right side of the international date line it already is. I’ve struggled to put my thoughts into words having now been back in the land of the fat women free and the home of the brave for almost 3 months.

Without using the “S” word Miyuki Nakajima conveys my feelings this evening. The song is called “Headlight / Taillight” and for years it was the haunting closing song for the NHK TV show , ” Project X”. Sums the day up pretty well: Tabi wa mada owaranai…………….The journey is still
