I am over my crankiness of earlier ( well sort of….). So I spent some time with the S.O. tonight, because she deserved some attention and kindness. We watched the movie Sideways, so we could see where we had been last week. It all looks bigger in the movies. Today is

Not really-but I do feel really tired. Plus-the current political cycle has me just plum tuckered out. I don’t think either side is winning anymore-its just the beginning of the long circular slide to utter stupidity. Obama gets voted out of office in 2012? It will be a complete jackass

Home at last-LAX to Chicago, thence to Shopping Mall. Plane to Shopping mall was 1 hour late departing. Go figure. In a normal world-no big deal. Just start drinking beer. S.O. in tow-that’s not such an easy option. It really pissed me off watching women drinking with ease…… Anyway……….. When

My apologies about the lack of posts. I was out here in California for business and brought the S.O. with me. She wanted to see the "left coast" since it had been over twenty years since she had seen anything but the inside of LAX. Plus we needed some "Love

Last Saturday the S.O. and I drove up to Fayatteville Tennessee. What is it about the south and the name Fayatteville? Arkansas has one. North Carolina does, I think South Carolina does too. Fayatteville has a couple of things that distinguish it. One, its the closest place to buy a

Not that anyone will listen to him-but from a purely American interests standpoint-he may be right: U.S. forces are being increased by 21,000 to 68,000, bringing the coalition total to 110,000. About 9,000 are from Britain, where support for the war is waning. Counterinsurgency theory concerning the time and the

You ran for Vice President-that did not quite work out the way you had hoped. After that, you became bored running America’s largest, most homogeneous, and easiest to run state. It’s still a month or so till moose hunting season. The kids are all back in school-except Bristol, who’s got

The S.O. and I went to the movies this evening. We went to see the English version of the Hayao Miyazaki film, Gake no ue no Ponyo. (Ponyo of above the cliff (by the sea)). The Disney title is simpler: Ponyo. If you only see one "G" rated movie this
