Another Saturday-another round in circling the shopping malls. I’m beginning to feel like they should just call it “Groundhog Weekend” here in sprawling Shopping Mall USA and get it over with. At least when I alighted from the Star Ferry, I was a man on a mission. And with luck

I'm keeping a low profile today……
The S.O. is insufferable today. She has not missed an opportunity to remind me of this. Yukiko Ueno, Japan’s remarkably resilient right-hander, shut down the Americans and handed them their first loss since Sept. 21, 2000 at the Sydney Games. The U.S. had won 22 straight since then, most with

The S.O. is watching the women’s marathon at the Olympics. Had to admit my head perked up a bit when she spouted this little bit of wisdom: “The Chinese girl is ahead-she must be…..uh….doping.”

I retract everything I wrote in the previous post. No fireworks happened when S.O. met offspring of yours truly. True you could cut the tension with a knife-but no rudeness ensued. Polite remarks all around. So why am I blogging when I have to drive 6 hours tomorrow to a

Lots to talk about in the world these days-including the Obama Iraq tour 2008. However those things will have to wait for another time. I had some fun with the S.O. in my previous post. I’m banking that she does not read the blog-but since I passed all of the

But today was a longer drive than I thought it would be. And we are both tired. Someone in the passenger seat was REALLY tired, for most of the trip up: When I looked over and saw that face, I just could not resist snapping a pix. Gomen ne? Consider

And welcome to it. A real conversation that occurred last week: S.O.-“There is something wrong with my car. I put it in drive but it’s hard to get it to move. I stopped when I heard this ggggg noise.” Me- (thinking to myself-“Oh s**t” , a 1000 dollar repair bill

The S.O. and I have been here for over 6 weeks today. They have been pretty pleasant on the whole, and together we have settled into a nice a little routine. I’ve been trying for a while to coalesce my thoughts into some organized bit of writing, but I’m not quite
