Chaby here. I’m Skippy and S.O.’s cat. Skippy-san would like to have posted something witty and original about news and newspapers, but after he downed 15 plates of Sushi at Kura sushi this evening( The S.O. had 7-All plates 105 yen!), S.O. is asleep on the couch and Skippy-sama is

Early to bed. Early to rise. Makes a man……..a lousy blogger. Played golf with S.O. and we walked. Between that and a trip to the treadmill at the gym, I was sawing logs on the couch at 7:45 pm. Either I am getting old or I need more exercise! Surfing

No post yesterday. As we get ready to move, the S.O. and I have been going together to the gym every afternoon. We’ve taken to eating a big lunch, then doing treadmill and stair-stepper in the late afternoon and then a very light dinner. Last night I did that, had

I wanted to post about the war today, but the post in my mind still needs a lot of refinement. I’m struggling to find the right words to express my frustration that after 3 years of commitment to help an Arab nation, not helped by its Arab neighbors, and unable

For me Memorial Day was pretty much a blur changing 17 time zones and then getting home from Narita. So this post comes a day late. However I would be remiss if I did not pay recognition to the brave souls who went forth from the nation, with full expectation

Up/Down count- Down $75.00 I hate it when the lady dealer leaves and gets replaced by a guy while I have a beer coming………. In case you have not noticed I am a cheap gambler. I jumped in the poker pool last night, and played Texas Hold-em, but I bailed

Up/Down report: Down $45.00………All at the blackjack table. Probably has something to do with the fact that I choose Blackjack dealers based on breast size…… Made it Nevada and took my time getting to my hotel. Did a few stops in a couple of casinos and invested a few dollars.

I knew this was going too well. The boneheads at Delta airlines , when I called to make sure everything was set, not so politely informed me that if I did not get the S.O. back to RDU it would invalidate her whole intinerary back to Narita. I could however
