Need to lighten up a bit. Today was an interesting, albeit unusual day. It started when I read my horoscope: Today, check out the view from the back seat of your life. That means you should accept the direction things are headed in now without wasting your precious energy trying

Liberation day……
Today is a holiday in Korea. Its Korean Independence day. And for those of you keeping score, its the 61’st anniversary of the Japanese surrender. They lost the war…..or did they? There was a period of time when Americans actually thought that. That Japan was actually fighting the US on

Bet that title got your attention! Took me a while, but I finally had to deal with an Indian call center this evening. In the process of setting up my computer here, I had to update my Norton Software and anti virus protection. As software companies are wont to do,

Did not get to see much
