A lazy day……….and then some….

I was originally going to post something useless profound about the world situation or some other such subject, but after the ebb and flow of yesterday I said, “Screw it. That can wait for another day”. Yesterday was too nice to mess it up with the world’s misery. Yesterday was

Sharks in these waters……..

Butt sharks that is. Very busy this week with meetings from the muckety mucks from our higher headquarters. Have been quietly enjoying the adventures in trouser snorkeling from the military folks who still want to get ahead. Its days like today that I really can enjoy my transition to that

Muslims and more on cartoons

I went to see the movie Syrianna tonight. I know it got slammed by many critics, but I liked it. Both for the way it presented its message and for the message it presented. It was also good to see a Deep Space Nine actor finally get some real work…………..
