Yesterday was an interesting lesson for me. In the simple things-and how they can be nice. I had been instructed by the S.O. not to get flowers for Valentine’s day. ” Flowers are too expensive at Valentines Day-wait till later and get them when they are cheaper.” Yes! I’m off

Why the 12 hour rule was invented……
In aviation they have a rule known as “twelve hours bottle to throttle”. The later versions of 3710- “the bible of Naval Aviation” made the commandment twelve hours bottle to brief. Here is why: Friends don’t let friends broadcast drunk! Judging from the video tape-I’d say Anderson was at Stage

I went to the doctor today, so it meant I had some time to and from work to hear the speeches of Shrew and U Know Who. Having also listened with nostalgia-mixed with sad realization-to McCain’s speech last night, I slowly realized that , for the good of my health

Wage slavery and other things have kept me busy. So tonight I treated myself to a movie and went to see the Dark Knight at the fancy movie theater-where you can buy beer and take it in with your popcorn. Nothing like a pint of Sam Adams while you munch

I was going to post my “In praise of the S.O. post” tonight, but a couple that has been very nice to us-asked us to go with them to a Nomiya. ( A drinking and eating restaurant). Suffice it to say the post will have to wait till tomorrow. This was

That does not involve restriction to my house. USFJ and others please take note. Today was my birthday. Aside from the S.O. making me a really nice dinner, there was nothing spectacular. I would have been happier to be in Wanchai, drinking beer at Bulldogs, or the New Makati, if
