Out the door, looking for?

A traveling man is a happy man. On the road for a while to various and sundry places. Posting will be even more haphazard than it already is.

Petreaus out.

This bit of news highlights again something really screwed up about US politics. He slept with someone? BFD. He obviously knew how to keep it discrete-and since he did, its nobody's business but his own. American prudishness claims another victim. Did he know how to do his job? Probably. The rest is utter bullshit. It… Continue reading Petreaus out.

And……we’re back!

I have finally gotten to the point where I can sit in front of the computer for a while. The surgery went well-and was very different from my expectation. The folks at Landstuhl from the nurse who saw me first in the pre-op room, " Quit fighting the eye drops-I'm going to win. We both… Continue reading And……we’re back!

Been Busy.

Have been exceptionally busy-my trip finishes up today. On the plane tomorrow. Posting will resume this weekend.

On the road again

With little time to post. But I did wish to note this interesting development: The New York Yankees acquired Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners on Monday in a trade that sent the Japanese star from a last-place team to a World Series contender. The Yankees also got cash considerations from the Mariners, who received pitching prospectsD.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar. The teams… Continue reading On the road again

They said it would never come to this…..

But alas it has. When people were discussing the repeal of DADT, it was always pointed out that the aim was just to have things be "business as usual" and that the rather more overt things that cause older men like me to get all pissed off and cranky-would not happen. But just as we… Continue reading They said it would never come to this…..

Out and about in Budapest.

Greetings from the West End of the Pest section of Budapest. Flew here on the 4th and we have been touring the city since then. Because of all the points I gained from my forays to Bucharest- the hotel upgraded us to a corner suite when we got here. Didn't ask for it-but it is pretty nice indeed. What is not… Continue reading Out and about in Budapest.

Be very quiet

The Germans are running over the Greeks. The score does not show it-but Germany is dominating the game. So. Sausage and beer or souvalki and ouzou? Everyone in our neighborhood is inside watching the game.   UPDATE!  The final score makes the game sound closer than it was-sure the Greeks tied it up at the… Continue reading Be very quiet

Someone had to say it.

Women have no business going to Ranger School. There! I said it-and I'll keep saying it.  There are roles for men and women to play in society, and  Mr. Kilcullen asks a very good question. Pity, no one will listen to him. It has occurred to me that when the military dropped the combat exclusion-it… Continue reading Someone had to say it.
