Today is June 23, the 42nd anniversary of the day I made the biggest mistake of my life, getting married only 6 weeks out of college. The intervening years have amplified how big a mistake that was and how much better it would have been if I had spent my 20’s (or longer) in hedonistic… Continue reading Your mileage may vary…….

You only see the turn…
Well, it’s Sunday. The first Sunday of the post Trump era. I can’t tell you what a relief for me it has been to know that the traitorous psychopath has been dispatched to the outer darkness of Mar el Lago. I have slept better since Wednesday than I have any night over the previous 4… Continue reading You only see the turn…
Another year come and gone
And 2020 was definitely a year that should be stripped from the history books. The question is, will we remember the things we need to remember? I tend to doubt it. As much as I love Christmas, I have come to hate New Year’s Eve – primarily because I am at that age where I… Continue reading Another year come and gone
Till the cows come home…
To Mayrhofen, Austria that is. The S.O. and I are probably long past any point in life where we could even hope to do something reckless exciting like run with the bulls at Pamplona. So this past weekend, we settled for the next best thing. We drove down to Mayrhofen Austria to witness the walking… Continue reading Till the cows come home…
Only I get to cross those lines.
Today its one day later. The usual suspects have come out of hiding, to trot out the same old lame excuses as to why nothing can be done. But never, did I think the purveyors of them would try to lay them on the S.O.’s doorstep. Yet, in yet one more tribute to how low… Continue reading Only I get to cross those lines.
Yet another sign of the Apocalypse.
The S.O. actually got a part time job. So she can actually start paying some of her share of the load around here. ( Since she has seen fit to disdain to do her womanly duty with the requisite frequency). Wonders will never cease.
My world-and welcome to it.
This is the S.O. when it comes to packing a suitcase:
Recent reading
I know I have been long overdue in posting some reviews of recent books I have read. Perhaps the one benefit of my recent trip across the pond is the books I got read ( and in one case) re-read. But I have been remiss in sharing them with you. Well, no longer. Lets start… Continue reading Recent reading
Every man needs a goal……
Spent the day house hunting with the S.O. At this point-a root canal is starting to look more than a little attractive. You know its bad when I feel like envying Tiger…………
Tomorrow is the day.
The day we get on the plane and I begin the journey to once again take my rightful place among the ranks of American Expats. I think we are ready-although the S.O. is just two steps above basket case level right about now. The S.O. does not deal with change well. Unlike me-she likes order… Continue reading Tomorrow is the day.
