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

So what have I learned?
Not very much apparently. This week has been almost surreal and now that I am back in Japan it seems as if it did not happen. More in a subsequent post when I am not so tired. The time difference really is taking a toll on me. Its 9pm but

First things first. To the lady who quietly upgraded me on CX-THANK YOU! That was a nice surprise. Business class on CX is pretty sweet! To the shrew from SATO who booked me on a non upgradeable ticket out of NRT, simply because I have the temerity to want all

Went up to Seoul today to pick up a colleague. The airport was a nut house! I really need to learn to read Hangul. I feel just like I did when I first came to Japan over here. Korean appears to grammatically like Japanese, but phonetically nothing like it. And

Yesterday, I went back to my old stomping grounds. We are deep in the middle of moving this weekend, but we thought we’d take advantage of the weather and see friends since they were having an open base day on Saturday. Played golf, got rained on, then went to see

Up/Down count- Down $75.00 I hate it when the lady dealer leaves and gets replaced by a guy while I have a beer coming………. In case you have not noticed I am a cheap gambler. I jumped in the poker pool last night, and played Texas Hold-em, but I bailed
