I think I would prefer a package check from the TSA to the 10 hours of driving I have to do tomorrow. See you on the other side! Went to a pretty neat place for dinner tonight with my father though. If you live in the Virginia-Northern North Carolina area-it

Whoo! Hoo! I don’t have to work today!
For those of you who do have to work today-especially for anyone works at a shopping mall, the Red Army Choir has a message for you: That Russian accent adds just the right amount of dreariness to the tune, don’t you think?

Today is Armistice Day, known as Veterans Day in the United States-but in the Commonwealth it is the day set aside to remember the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognised

A little humor before I get really stinking drunk tomorrow evening. But not before I go to the polls and vote against every “real conservative’, “church going”, “pro-life, pro gun”, “down home” Alabama candidate. If I have to hear about how long Mo Brooks has been married to his wife

One month down-unknown how much longer to go. Stay tuned. Things have settled down to controlled pain. It looks like I will be out exploring the Romanian country side later on this week. That ought to be an adventure. I’ve driven twice during my stay here-I did not like it.
