That does not involve restriction to my house. USFJ and others please take note. Today was my birthday. Aside from the S.O. making me a really nice dinner, there was nothing spectacular. I would have been happier to be in Wanchai, drinking beer at Bulldogs, or the New Makati, if

Returned to the good side of the international date line last night. Trip from RDU through Chicago was fine and I was lucky enough to get upgraded into business so I could actually get a little sleep on the way over. I would have gotten more sleep but I was

Why can’t Hillary just die politically? (For those concerned readers such as Mary-that was not meant to be a literal translation…………….) Hillary came out of her cave and saw her shadow last night. And as a result the Democrats will spend 6 more weeks gouging each others eyes out. Say one thing

It has been a busy couple of days. It is 5:30 am and I should be sleeping-but I cannot. I’ ve been on the bed dozing in and out but never getting truly to sleep. I’m not sure why since I have been in the room since 7:30 PM last evening.
