Knowing what it is like to get kicked in the teeth.
After that last, rambling, wreck of a post, I had thought about posting something funny today. Then I got to work and opened up my e-mail: the son of a friend of mine passed away on Saturday. I am stunned beyond words. You had to know these folks and to

Short post here…..swamped with that damn thing called work. However check out Gaijin Biker’s post about the new Japanese basketball league.
