On the road, again-its been a month since I traveled and those frequent flyer miles are not going to earn themselves you know. Nice train ride up to Frankfurt this morning on a beautiful day. And I was more than a little pleased to see this: The Senate on Thursday rejected

Sorry for the lack of postings of late. I am going through a triple whammy of trying to get ready for a trip, dealing with the day to day fun at work, and also starting an online class, which is going to cut into my time even more. However, it
Continue readingDresden ( and a bit of Poland)
A couple of weekends ago we went to Dresden. I found the trip remarkable for a couple of reasons. 1) I never imagined in my youth, that I would ever be in what was once “East” Germany, and 2) I was surprised at how charming and well developed the city

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,

This has always been a stupid idea on the part of the US Navy. I experienced it in 1975, when, in order to win a scholarship- I had to Major in Mathematics, a field of study I hated, so as to become a Naval Officer. The only benefit therein to

Time for this one to go home! Sitting here in the lounge-having visited my father for the last few days, and headed back across the Atlantic and, sadly, back to work. Which I am confident will be unappreciated by our new Zombie masters. The lounge here is packed, which is more

Australian voice, Asian body. A wood making machine for sure. Natalie Tran can have my baby…….except I can’t make that happen anymore. But we could pretend, right? Maybe she will develop an older man fetish…… Yea right. Go back to sleep, old man. Sigh.
