Lots to blog about, no energy to do it. However I was interested to see GI Korea explain why we just wasted 12 weeks of our lives working on a pointless project. At the time, the project director said that we HAD to get this thing done before the Korean

Santa-san came! Never made it to Mass last night. I had intended to go but, I could not stay awake after 11. So, with a heavy heart-because believe it or not I really wanted to go-I trudged off to bed. The S.O. stayed up for a while to watch NHK.

Well, its come and no doubt will soon be gone. It is Christmas Eve here in Japan. This could possibly be my last Christmas in this country-a lot will depend on the breaks in the new year to come. It will not be for lack of trying to stay, but

For the JMSDF. Tracked missle-shot down same. Hopefully the Jonger…….and the Chinese will take notice. It has been big news on the TV today. Unfortunately I cannot find a clip to post this evening and could not get to the VCR in time to tape it. So you will just

Things are looking up here in Bloggerville. No post for the past two days as the S.O. and I went to observe our ritual “go to Tokyo and celebrate making each other miserable for another year” visit. We stayed at a hotel in Tokyo, had a very nice dinner at one

Well, so far so good. Had to go through the misfortune of speaking with my ex-wife, who answered the phone when I called my son. She hung up on me after telling me my son was not there. Situation normal. I have never understood those scenes in the movies where
