Nothing will ruin your day like a collision at sea. Or a grounding. This business of firing CO’s at a drop of a hat is getting out of control. Not every mistake needs to be published by public execution. It might be that given the chance he might learn a

Its a pleasure to see a lawyer talking about alternatives to marriage and the inevitable pain, our fucked up divorce laws bring with it. “When I was a child,” Diana Adams began, “I had a dollhouse and a rich fantasy life. I imagined that I was a cancer-curing surgeon, a world-class ballerina,

We should talk about what should be the most important part of the holiday. The post dinner/flowers/movie/carriage ride in the park/romantic walk in the park sex. Sex is always, ALWAYS, the perfect ending to any holiday. So over at The Atlantic, they had a nice article about the myths about that

Over at Esquire’s political blog, LTC Robert Bateman has been buying into the entire-“all military men are rapists” theme. Now, I, for one, am sick of hearing it. A) Because it’s not true and B) it’s disguising yet another hidden feminist agenda. Fortunately for us all- ROK Drop is still on the

On the road again-had a challenging journey yesterday to the other side of the Atlantic. To start with my ICE train to the Frankfurt Airport was going to be delayed by 90 minutes. That was a non-starter as it was going to make me late for check in-and my requisite

The most screwed up reorganization since AT&T split up, continues. The thought police have come home to roost and provide counseling. Guess who was one of the first ones called in to see them? This hits pretty close to home-since the personal dynamics of my workplace have changed dramatically and

Yesterday we drove down through Austria into Italy and into Vicenza. We are staying here while we visit Venice for a couple of days. There is just one problem ( well two actually). Today it rained all damn day. Not just a sprinkle, but the kind of steady, get on
