Either way posting will be non-existent for a bit. ( again). But I could not let the good news / bad news of the day pass… Continue reading Going Nordo

Day late and more than a couple of dollars short
For beer and babes. My apologies. I wish I could say its because I got a better offer-but that would require the S.O. to actual remember that she is supposed to have sex. But one can still admire this: And drink some of this:
The wrong people are winning.
Well, now that really bad things are going on, it’s probably time for me to get back to work. I have a lot to say about a lot of things-but just can’t seem to either find the time or the volition to address them. But I just wanted to point out a fact that most… Continue reading The wrong people are winning.
Out and about
It’s been a month since I have posted. I have been busy. No excuse to be sure-but its the truth. During that time a lot has happened, much of it comment worthy-and if you are big reader like I am, you have probably read a lot of the commentary on it already. So I will… Continue reading Out and about
Just a walk in the park.

Still here.
It is crunch time on my courses right now. Plus. I am playing the popular game, “What will next year’s budget be?”. So go read this outstanding article by James Fallows instead.
Stupidity on Parade
Some things just set me off. Today was a day where I came across something quite innocently posted by someone on the old Facebook page, that when one reads it, you just have to shake your head in disgust. Over at The Federalist, a slick conservative blog for the learning impaired, a writer named Bethany… Continue reading Stupidity on Parade
Vindication!!!!! In other words, today, I was proven right after all. The feeling is marvelous!
Yesterday and today were really good days for me-even though I had just gotten back from a long drive back from Berlin. ( Pictures and narrative to follow). As you get more seasoned in a profession ( read older), there comes a time when you know you are right about something. It is not a… Continue reading Vindication!!!!!
