Busy time here in Korea. Plus I’m in a real funk. Things are not working out on the project the way they should be. And I have 3 + weeks to go. Its more than the project, its life in general. I get up in the AM and go do

Today is a holiday in Korea. Its Korean Independence day. And for those of you keeping score, its the 61’st anniversary of the Japanese surrender. They lost the war…..or did they? There was a period of time when Americans actually thought that. That Japan was actually fighting the US on

Went up to Seoul today to pick up a colleague. The airport was a nut house! I really need to learn to read Hangul. I feel just like I did when I first came to Japan over here. Korean appears to grammatically like Japanese, but phonetically nothing like it. And

Steeljaw Scribe has a nice clip that reminds me of what I dreamed air travel was, but is not. The video at the link hearkens back to the days when service was important, stewardesses were pretty, and in light of the London plot, air travel was probably safer. Check it

Traveling was every bit the pain in the ass I expected it to be…even on JAL. The flight to Korea is a short one however. The Bus ride from Incheon though…..well that is another story. Incheon is a beautiful airport. Normal fal-de ral getting through immigration et al. Then finding

First, its primary election day in the US in 5 states. In two, Georgia and Connecticut, the incumbents are in trouble. For the record I am hoping both lose. Cythnia McKinney because she is a moron, Joe Lieberman because he needs to be the victim in a bigger cause: sending

Today is August 6th. The 61’st anniversary of the atomic bomb released on Hiroshima. Gen baku (??) is Japanese for atomic bomb. As you might expect there has been a lot of coverage on the various TV networks including bell ringing at the hour of the attack. The history is

Today was a reasonably good day. I got up on the assumption that I was going to play golf el solo lobo. As I was making coffee at about 5:50 am I heard rumblings from the S.O.’s direction in our room. Now mind you, we had agreed that I would
