Another week down-still not sure how many to go. I’m more than a little stir crazy at this point, but hey what’s a fellow to do? Have spent the morning, sleeping, eating, paying bills, and catching up on paperwork and expense reports. Another pretty nice day and not to hot

Well, so much for that idea……
I really thought I was going to get some posting done this week. Lots to write about with the Tour De France, Steinbrenner dying, and other events going on. But alas it was not to be. Maybe tomorrow. I’m locking my blackberry in my safe and not touching it all

Of the Yamanote Line: What’s really sad, I’ve been to every station on the line at one point or another. I dated a girl from Nishi Nippori (date being a rather lose term) for a couple of months. Sigh

Yesterday we went to my company’s Christmas party. An OK affair-save for the fact that with one exception, none of us work in the same place-we simply have the distinction of having the same employer. Who in every case handles every thing related to our care and feeding in a

In a perfect world, I would not be able to be blogging right now. I’d be on my fourth glass of wine-or maybe even a post dinner cognac and hoping that booze would swirl me into a few hours of sleep before I arrived in the “Old Country This, however, is
