Friday Beer and babes

Its two rounds of golf and a box of Krispy Kremes later. My mother has succeeded in driving me nuts and if I hear one more question about why I choose to live in Asia I’m going to blow a gasket. I could not tell the real reasons to my

Across the big pond……

Light blogging for the next couple of days as I return to the US for about 3 weeks. Thanks to having to use my return allowances, I’m stuck flying Delta, an airline I have no miles with and thus 0.0 chance to upgrade. Its going to be a long 12

Short post as yesterday was quite busy. Squeezed in a round of golf with the S.O. a sure sign that she is feeling better, then she had me packing the rest of the day. Pain in the ass she sometimes can be, she sure is organized! Speaking of packing, I’ve
